Barrier-free Web Design is EASI's online course in October. Those
completing the work will receive a document of completion and the course
will count towards the Certificate In Accessible Information Technology.
Marisol Miranda is the instructor.
Web pages can be created using Universal Design principles permitting
Their use by people with different browsers, different connection speeds,
mobile phones, tablets, etc, and by people with disabilities using
Adaptive computer technology. They can also be created in ways that
Exclude many of the above users. Barrier-free Web Design will prepare you
to create web pages that are visually appealing and still permit full
access by users with various technologies and by those with disabilities.
You will be able to look at the recordings of some of the best webinars
that EASI has given by experts related to the topics. Hands on activities
are also included to those who consider them useful, but they are not
mandatory to completing the course.
The course is based both on the Federal Access Board’s Section 508 Web
standards and on the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines version 2 which were released in Dec. 2008. The
course will not require an extensive knowledge of HTML as it assumes that
designers are working in some Web authoring software that does the actual
Web coding for the designer.
You can read more and also register online paying by credit card, check
or using a PO. There is a discount for students and for overseas
participants. The Dick Banks Memorial Scholarship is available for anyone
unable to procure financing.
