Barrier-free Advanced Accessible Web Design
Do you want to use many of the web bells and whistles on your web site to
make it more exciting?  Are you afraid to use them for fear that your site
will become inaccessible for users with disabilities?  Do you want to have
your cake and eat it too?

Then EASI's new online workshop is for you:
http://www.rit.edu/~easi/workshop.htm
Begins April 2 and runs for 8 weeks (one lesson per week). Continuing
education units are available through the Rochester Institute of
Technology.  This web URL will also provide registration costs and an
online registration form.

EASI has taught a basic online workshop about accessible web design for
half a dozen years to several hundreds of web designers.  We now are adding
lessons on techniques for providing more sophisticated web features in an
accessible format.  The workshop conforms to both the World Wide Web
Consortium's Web Access Initiative's guidelines and the Federal Access
Board's newly released Section 508 standards for accessible web design.

Barrier-free Advanced Web Design is a by-product of EASI's Barrier-free Web
Design workshop, which deals with newer technologies like multimedia, Java.
forms, plug-ins, frames and tables.

advanced Web developer. Some of the topics covered are:

Introductions and Overview of How People with Disabilities Use the Web
Walk a Mile in Our Shoes
General Design Principles
Images and Animations
Accessible Multimedia
Scripts, Applets and Plug-ins
