EASI LISTENING:

EASI Listening is a new web page linked to EASI's home page
http://www.rit.edu/~easi and is EASI's newest venture into presenting
audio and later video on the web.  Come today and listen!  The page has
a link which will help you to download Real Audio client to listen.
EASI is experimenting with new media and wants to learn how best to
utlize these for enhancing information access for internet users with
disabilities.  We will begin with a focus on disseminating information
on improving access to science and math for everyone but especially for
students in K-12.  This will include both live internet broadcasts and
archived files which can be accessed any time.


EASI, (Equal Access to Software and Information), live audio broadcast
on the internet from the CSUN conference.

EASI will have a short live daily broadcast from CSUN conference
Wednesday, March 18, thursday, March 19 and Friday, March 20 at 6:00 pm
Pacific time which is 9 Eastern, 8 Central and 7 Mountain times.

This broadcast will last 15-30 minutes and can be found on the web at
