EASI Three Courses Starting November 7
EASI courses are month-long, instructor-led, entirely online using the Web
and a discussion board. In some cases they will also use an interactive
voice chat Web conference system.
1 Beginners Barrier-free Web Design
This month-long course, given bimonthly, is designed to demonstrate how to
create web pages that are
both visually appealing to all users and fully accessible to users with
print disabilities. The class does not
teach HTML as such but focuses on web design features relevant for
accessibility. It is ideal for
designers who are not advanced web experts, for administrators wanting to
understand web accessibility
issues, for faculty, disabled student services staff, librarians,
businesses and instructional technology
staff. The course is based on the Section 508 standards and on the work of
the Web Accessibility
Initiative.

Barrier-free E-learning
E-learning is the fastest growing movement in today's education world.
University, business and public
schools all are adopting one or more forms of this technology for
delivering education and training. One
of the results of the rapidity of this explosive growth is that little
attention has been paid to making these
technologies accessible to people with various disabilities. This
eight-lesson course deals both with the
requirements of an accessible interface and with insights on how to make
course content itself more
accessible. This is ideal for faculty, informational and instructional
technologists, disabled student staff,
human resource staff, librarians, rehab consultants, ADA compliance
officers and administrators.

Assistive Computer Technology on a Shoestring: The EASI Way
What do we mean by "Assistive Computer Technology on a Shoestring"? Many of
today's assistive
technologies are complex, sophisticated and frequently expensive. While
they are powerful, versatile and
can readily be modified to meet individual needs, there are some other
assistive technologies that are less
expensive and still fill an important gap in the array of tools to support
users with disabilities. These less
expensive alternatives will in no way replace the more professional
applications. However, for someone
with a less severe disability, for an aging senior or a person with a
temporary disability or for someone
wanting experience with assistive technology before making a significant
purchase, they are important
tools to explore. For a small institution with tight budgets, these
technologies can be kept available to
provide support for a wide range of people with disabilities until a more
appropriate application has been
purchased.
