EASI Free Clinic: Designing Content for Web Delivery: June 27, 2PM Eastern
Presenters: Norm Coombs and Dick Banks

EASI, Equal Access to Software and Information, is providing another of its 
live, Internet, Web

conferences designed to help content providers create online content that 
is accessible to users

with disabilities while making the burden on the content provider as simple 
as possible.

How many of the Web accessibility features spelled out by the Web 
Accessibility Initiative

(WAI) or the Section 508 standards does the faculty or instructional 
designer really need to

know for the work they are doing?

In this hour-long presentation, we will outline a small set of 
accessibility issues that these

designers are most likely to need to know.  We are convinced that most 
faculty will not learn all

the Web accessibility standards, but, we believe that if we can reduce the 
items they need to

learn to a small number, they will be more likely to support accessibility.

We also know that much of the content that is being delivered online is not 
created in an actual

Web authoring tool. Software programs like Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, 
Excel and others

seem to be the content creator of choice.

In the past, creating Web content with these software tools, usually meant 
that materials were

minimally accessible or in many cases, not accessible at all.  However, if 
you understand some

basic concepts like creating with style, these tools can be used in ways to 
create accessible

output.

This free Web conference will give an overview of the following topics.

What do we mean by creating with style?

What are styles and why should I care?

Creating style in a Word document.

Creating Accessible PowerPoint.

Creating accessible narrated PowerPoint.

To participate you need to register and the conference can be viewed best 
if you are using a PC

running Windows and if you are using Internet Explorer (but not version 7 
beta).  You need to

have your speakers turned on.  You can interact either using the text chat 
window or using your
