In-Reply-To: <20051008190017.666671364E1@lists.nws.oregonstate.edu> Message-ID: <20051101181912.50230.qmail@web33015.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hello All, I am about to start an ambitious undertaking, namely to relocate the Adaptive Technology Lab at the University of Vermont out of the offices of the Disability Services (ACCESS) and more of a standalone facility. This is a physical, as well as organizational change. What I need to bolster my efforts is a comparison of peer schools, to show that the disability services office is NOT the "ideal" place to lump AT in. My point has always been that AT is the province of the IT department, and AT typically works best in a central location, like a main library. This opportunity has just presented itself in UVM. The entire 3rd floor of the library is about to be scrapped, and they are making room for CTL (center for teaching and learning- mostly webCT and multimedia related) and I felt that the ATL would be an ideal complement to that. Can anyone share anything like an organizational chart that clearly shows the relationship in reporting (chain of command, etc) in relation to the IT dept.? This may be my only opportunity to get a "real" budget, and hopefully staffing, as my position has grown beyond my ability to serve the students appropriately. (currently, our set-up is that I'm the single AT point person for a college of approx 9k students, and AT work is only 30% of my job) This is a useful discussion for others, because this touches on Universal Design aspects. What is an "idea" scenario for AT providers on campus settings? How do we get the recognition and visibility our services need? How do we leverage our knowledge of UD to steer schools in the right direction in terms of web standards, WAI, WC3, etc? what about captioning of videos and web videos? these are issues that we shouldn't have to fight for.
