student technological and pedagogical needs to facilitate such
institutional planning. (This course is required for the EASI/USM

created for the needs of other populations have alsoturned out to provide
support for people with learning disabilities.

Course content will be available on the web and class discussion will take
place either by e-mail or on a discussion board. Both will be entirely
asynchronous. An optional synchronous online chat meeting may also be
scheduled.

A
ccessible Internet Multimedia Production http://easi.cc/workshops/mmedia.htm
Educational and other information providers on the Internet are
increasingly using multimedia as a means to disseminate information.

reaching people with disabilities. Providing transcriptions, captions and
descriptive video synchronized with the media is a real challenge. This
course will give step-by-step instruction in how and when to provide
transcriptions and synchronized captions. This course will be good for web
masters, information technologists, instructional technologists, disabled
student staff, librarians and more. This course is optional for the
