[Athen] Administrative Rules and guidelines around accessible software

[Ron Stewart]

We did some pretty comprehensive work at Oregon State while I was there:

Also I would suggest you take a look at the DOIT resources:

Subject: [Athen] Administrative Rules and guidelines around accessible
software

 

Hi!

I am wondering if any of you have established administrative rules regarding
using accessible software at your institutions? We are at the a point where
we want to pursue establishing guidelines around how faculty select
software. 

 

I'm also wondering if you have established any standards regarding the
creation of on-line or hybrid classes. We use Moodle and there are no
college standards for font, font size, color or a consistent layout. There
is also no standard for creating accessible documents (MS Word or PDF
files).

 

I am interested in your thoughts about this and would appreciate any
examples of such rules. 

 

Thank you,
