EASI's online workshops have been brought up to date and have been enhanced
with multimedia.Both have a special coupon for a free registration for a
team-mate from your institution during 1999.


Barrier-Free Web Design

This four-week workshop is designed to demonstrate how to create web pages
that
are both visually appealing and fully accessible to users with print
disabilities. In this context, accessibility means that the menus are readily
navigable and that the content itself is in a format that users with
disabilities can "read" independently. This workshop is largely self-paced,
but it also includes frequent interaction with instructors and
other HTML learners. It includes multimedia slides with narrated audio, video
clips, audio discussions and text and graphic materials. Besides teaching
universal web design, it is intended to model how to use multimedia on the
web
in ways that enhance access for all users. By combining multiple
communication
modes, the workshop increases its accessibility for everyone. The recent
guidelines announced by the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Access Initiative
are included in the course. To qualify for CEU's, participants will have
to create a web page using tools used in the class.

August 23 and October 3

Taught by instructors with extensive experience in adaptive computer
technology:
Richard Banks and Norman Coombs, Ph.D.
