Still another week to register for the Barrier-free Information Technology
EASI course originally planned to start Setpember 6 will now begin
September 13.
You can register until Thur. September 16 at
http://easi.cc/workshops/adaptit.htm
This month-long course is taught entirely online, any time from anywhere
and includes interaction with instructors and fellow students. We will
help you provide information technology systems that will be fully
accessible to students with disabilities and will enable you to fill the
requirements of current disability legislation.
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.
