While we all
recognize the need to make Learning Management Systems
accessible for students
with disabilities as required by federal and state legislation,
it is equally
important to make them accessible for both staff and faculty
with disabilities.
Course content is usually created by content experts who may
know very little
about designing their content to be accessible and who become
overwhelmed with
this new obligation. Learning Management Systems must find ways
–to help these
faculty. Presenters will talk both about the accessibility
features in their
system and share what is being done to help non-technical
faculty create
accessible content. Besides making PDF, Word and HTML documents
accessible,
Faculty will need tools to assist them in providing captions for
videos,
transcriptions for audio and video description of video action.
