benefits of providing access to an institution's information technology
systems, highlights relevant legislation, highlights different adaptive
technologies, gives pointers on how to plan for a campus-wide initiative
for accessibility.

solutions for access to web pages.  It does not require knowledge of HTML

modifications.

HTML knowledge.  It focuses on more sophisticated issues like animations,
media, tables, forms and more.
