EASI is offering 3 courses during April:




Designing Accessible Course Content Using Familiar Software

This course is created for instructors, instructional design staff and
anyone else creating course content who has limited technical know-how and
who wants to make their course materials accessible without having to learn
specialized software or become a technology guru. It is not a theoretical
or principles

course; it is practical and hands-on. Lesson assignments will lead
participants to actually create accessible content using familiar tools
like Word, PowerPoint, excel, Web browsers, etc. Participants will discover
that, in the process of designing accessible content, their material will
be clearer and better for everyone.

Accessible Internet Multimedia Production

Educational and other information providers on the Internet are
increasingly using multimedia as a means to disseminate information.
Multimedia poses special problems but also unique opportunities for
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,human
recourse staff and librarians.

Train the Trainer

Many organizations are providing limited training on adaptive technology to
their customers, students or staff in a variety of different software
packages .They do not plan to provide depth training, and they only expect
to provide training on a specific application periodically. They are
concerned with how

to prepare some staff person to provide this basic training on many
applications and only at infrequental intervals. Train the Trainer is
intended to provide basic know-how on several adaptive technologies,
provide tools to help the trainer refresh their memories quickly as well as
giving teaching tools and hand-outs for the end learner.It is ideal for
institutions which provide adaptive technology to a constant stream of new
users such as a school, senior citizen center or library. The course will
cover operating system basics, adaptive technology basics for screen
readers, screen magnification, voice recognition and more.
