Many faculty and course content designers are experts in their discipline
but not in technology and have little interest in changing that. EASI is
developing
strategies to assist such content designers to make their online content
reasonably accessible without having to become techies or without their having
to learn new, complex design software. This presentation will cover:
• what is online accessibility and why bother Cou
        • rseware and accessibility
• General tips to enhance accessibility for all
• evaluating online accessibility
• designing and repairing pages for accessibility
• PowerPoint online and accessibility
• Alternatives for inaccesible online formats
• resources


The free Clinic on November 24 is Professor John Slatin discussing his
recent book on making accessible Web pages.
