Two essential online EASI month-long courses starting March 7:

Barrier-free Information Technology:
Computer and information technology is rapidly becoming integral in our
daily lives. On one hand, this holds the promise of enhanced independence
for students
with disabilities. On the other hand, depending on the design of the
particular applications being used, it threatens to create needless
barriers for such
students possibly even preventing them from succeeding in college.
Today's distributed computer environment means that providing support for
the technology needs of students and professionals with disabilities is an
global
responsibility. It requires extensive planning and cooperation across
several departments. "If it takes a village to raise a child, then, it
takes the
global commitment to support the adaptive technology needs of students and
professionals with disabilities. It is no longer the sole province of the
computer.
It cannot be relegated to the disabled student office either. Seamless
service requires campus-wide cooperation. This course is designed to
provide the
broad knowledge of technology, the law and of student technological and
pedagogical needs to facilitate such institutional planning.

Learning Disabilities and Accessible Information Technology
Postsecondary students with learning disabilities have unique information
technology needs that are readily met through the use of specialized software,
handheld technologies, and attention to Web site accessibility. In addition
to examining the latest technologies with hands-on application, participants
in this course will be provided with opportunities to deepen their
knowledge of learning disabilities, as well as curriculum development and
instructional
strategies, including universal design in education.
