The most promissing info is posted on a page for Garage Band. At the bottom in the comments is mention of people having some VO access to ProTools. http://blog.bryansmart.com/2010/11/01/new-garageband-accessibility-developments/ http://groups.google.com/group/ptaccess?pli=1 http://www.lioncourt.com/2009/10/05/digidesign-demonstrates-upcoming-protools-accessibility/ On another page I found Claims that Finale does not work at all with VO. If the student is a JAWS user it would probably be better to look for replacement programs that work on Windows with JAWS like Sound Forge. VoiceOver would be a good skill to have but learning VO while trying to learn a bundle of new software packages might cause your student to fall behind. VO is very different from JAWS. http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/ Jeff On 7/1/11, Dianne Moore wrote: > I have a student who uses JAWS in a Mac Lab for music technology this fall. > The student will need to use ProTools (mac software only), Finale, and Pro > Logic.

I'm a quadriplegic, so sometimes I think I have the culture-of-disability cachet to be glibly humorous when referring to other peoples' disabilities. in any case, our fine conference seems to possibly overrepresent the needs of blind persons' assistive technology needs. ---- Original message ---- >Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 12:46:50 -0600 >From: Howard Kramer >Subject: Keynote speaker search: Anyone familiar of Dr. Jonathan Lazar >To: Access Technology Higher Education Network >Cc: Clayton H Lewis ,"Catherine M.

INNOVATION WITH ACCESSIBILITY policy institute Procuring, developing and implementing innovative enterprise & learning technologies in compliance with ADA requirements July 25th, 2011, 9:30 - 3:00pm Michael E. Moritz College of Law's Saxbe Auditorium The Ohio State University's Columbus Campus 55 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors participation is free for CIOs, Compliance & Purchasing Officers, and other Institutional Leaders from Ohio Campuses Featured Speakers Daniel Goldstein, Jonathan Lazar & Tony Olivero Remarks by: John Conley, Chief of P-20 Education Technology, The Ohio Board of Regents Sloan Spalding, Deputy Chancellor and General Counsel, The Ohio Board of Regents Sponsors The Ohio Board of Regents OhioLINK The Ohio State University's Office of Diversity and Inclusion The Digital Union, Learning Technology, Office of the CIO DBTAC-Great Lakes ADA Center via funding provided by NIDRR. The National Federation of the Blind Technology permeates society - from apps to social networking; from e-books to e-business and from recruitment to alumni development. And technology is transforming both learning and teaching. Campus leaders have the dual obligations of providing innovative and effective technologies to their institutions while complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Meeting this dual commitment is challenging for CIOs and Purchasing departments, but necessary, as evidenced by recent guidance from the Department of Education and recent litigation regarding the Kindle, iTunes, various learning management systems, campus websites, and digital publishing offerings. The University System of Ohio prides itself on harnessing the best technology has to offer to enhance teaching and learning, support community and improve services through innovation. The University System of Ohio is also a leader in ensuring equity and access to education and has followed the application of the ADA requirements for effective communication and program access to web-based communications, software, and instructional technology. The obligation to provide individuals with disabilities the opportunity "to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services with substantially equivalent ease of use" is clear*. With your leadership, your institution can be an ideal incubator for the creative application of emerging technologies to instruction while ensuring the benefits of innovation are provided to all students in a fully integrated manner. This workshop will help campus leaders innovate for all members of their campuses and assure that technologies and software they purchase conform to the guidelines of federal ADA legislation. The workshop presenters include attorneys, educators, and pragmatic problem solvers. The information presented will help campuses develop necessary policy, procedures and a campus culture aware and sensitive to the accessibility agenda. In addition to clear and concise information on necessary features of effective campus policy, the workshop will focus on best practices for campus audits and for getting faculty on-board with their obligations and opportunities to serve the accessibility agenda. The workshop features a panel of CIOs asking questions of our featured speaker, demonstration and discussion of a case study of accessibility considerations in the mobile learning environment, and opportunities for interaction. This Workshop will help you: * Understand the requirements for accessibility and how accessibility interacts with innovations in instructional technology and enterprise software; * Structure conversations with your technology vendors such that your purchases meet compliance guidelines and serve all members of your campus community; * Understand the barriers created by inaccessible educational technology for students, faculty and staff with disabilities and how to overcome them; * Conduct an institutional technology audit to identify barriers to access and develop a technology transition plan; * Develop comprehensive policies from purchasing to posting formats that integrate accessibility standards and procedures into technology planning for your institution; * Link the necessary expertise and authority (IT system administration, adaptive technology, distance & on-line learning, faculty Development, disability services, ...); * Clarify the role of faculty and staff compliance efforts; and * Identify resources to further inform your innovation and access activities. Principal Speakers Daniel F. Goldstein Is a partner at Brown, Goldstein & Levy and has been practicing disability rights law for nearly twenty-five years, principally on behalf of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). Twelve years ago, the NFB asked him to assist in devising and executing a strategy of education, negotiation and litigation to make mainstream technology accessible to the blind. Pursuant to that strategy, he has sought, among other things, to increase the accessibility of the Internet with suits against America Online and Target, and successful negotiations with Amazon, eBay and Travelocity; to make consumer kiosks, such as ATMs, accessible through suits against Diebold, Inc., Cardtronics, Inc., and a number of banks; to make voting accessible through suits against states and counties; and, to make mainstream digital book systems accessible through suits against educational institutions that deployed the Kindle e-book reader. Most recently, he secured a victory in the Ninth Circuit assuring that blind test takers who use screen reader software as their primary reading method are entitled to use such software in high stakes testing. Before setting up his private practice in 1982, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland for six years where he prosecuted white-collar crimes. Jonathan Lazar Professor of Computer and Information Sciences at Towson University. He is the founder and director of the Universal Usability Laboratory at Towson University, and currently serves as director of the undergraduate Information Systems program.

Dr. Lazar has authored over 80 refereed publications on the topics of web usability, assistive technology, user error and frustration, and user-centered design methods. His most recent authored book is "Web Usability: A User-Centered Design Approach" published by Addison-Wesley in 2006, and his most recent edited book is "Universal Usability: Designing Computer Interfaces for Diverse User Populations" published by John Wiley and Sons in 2007. He is co-author of the new book "Research Methods in Human-Computer Interaction," to be published in 2010 by John Wiley and Sons. He currently serves as chair of the ACM SIGCHI US Public Policy Committee, and also serves on the editorial boards of Universal Access in the Information Society and Interacting with Computers.

The one that came up repeatedly was system-wide or campus-wide change for digital access. I've termed it: Strategies & Case Studies for Implementing Digital Access on the College & University Campus I came up with 3 segments or topic divisions for the agenda, listed below. I think this webinar might call for at least 2 speakers per segment. If you are interested in speaking on any of the topics listed below, let me know. Also, any suggestions or feedback on the agenda itself are more than welcome. Proposed Agenda Segment 1: Practices at the Exemplary Universities Because of his experience surveying other institution's web pages (& developing tools to do this), I thought Jon Gunderson (I haven't discussed this with him yet - Jon, I'll send you a separate email) would be the most appropriate speaker for this segment, talking overall about best practices; what are the universities rated with the most accessible websites (see http://chronicle.com/article/BestWorst-College-Web/125642/) doing to encourage and implement accessibility? What is done at the UIUC to promote and ensure accessibility? In addition, another speaker from one of the top rated universities for accessible websites talks about what their campus does. Segment 2: Implementing a campus-wide Digital Accessibility Policy: Case Study(s) Include: How are areas such as multimedia, Course Management Systems & Distance Education addressed? Segment 3: Building partnerships and collaborations on campus 1. Building the partnerships and collaborations on campus needed for effective system change towards Universal Design. 2. Building collaboration on campus: assembling a campus-wide accessibility committee; selling accessibility to resistant faculty; obtaining the buy-in of IT. -- Howard Kramer AHG Conference Coordinator Access Specialist 303-492-8672 fax: 492-5601 Disability Services Division of ODECE- achieving excellence through diversity and inclusion -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Just a reminder that you and your students have one more opportunity to speak to the federal commission on alternate instructional materials in higher ed. Tomorrow will be the last public hearing, and we really need your support. You will have 5 minutes to speak and then the Commission has 10 minutes to ask questions. It's not difficult, and it lets your voice be heard! There is still time to register, but you need to sign up by noon on Tuesday to ensure a spot. If you are interested, please e-mail the following address: psc@cast.org What should you talk about? The issues you face creating and obtaining alternate formats for students; the issues students face obtaining and using their materials; your opinion on whether compliance with Web access standards is working; your concerns about creating accessible online courses; issues with captioning Web materials; anything related to alternate instructional formats is fair game! If you are attending the AHEAD Conference, you can speak in person, or we also have a phone bridge available. We will call you at your scheduled time. (Remember that the meeting is in Seattle, WA, on Pacific time.) Too shy to speak, we still want people's stories. We will take written feedback through the end of August.

If so, how are you distributing the files to the students? * Do they have to come into the office to sync on the computer where the files are downloaded? * Or, can you distribute the zip files to them on a CD or through a secure file server for them to transfer themselves? If this works I would assume it works better since iOS devices tend to be picky about syncing to multiple computers. * Other? Also, any feedback from students using the App when compared to other methods of listening (standalone CD, WMA, through software on computer) other than that the App is relatively expensive? thanks, Todd Schwanke UW-Madison From tkearns at tmcc.edu Tue Jul 12 07:07:29 2011 From: tkearns at tmcc.edu (Thomas Kearns) Date: Sat Jun 9 18:30:29 2018 Subject: [Athen] Content evaluators In-Reply-To: <02db01cc3684$84ff2b40$8efd81c0$@altformatsolutions.com> References: <02db01cc3684$84ff2b40$8efd81c0$@altformatsolutions.com> Message-ID: Hi Ron Are you still looking for users?

The purpose of this study is to examine factors related to requests for job accommodations. You are invited to share your perceptions on factors related to an accommodation request by answering a few questions about yourself, your organization, and your abilities and emotions in the process. This survey will take about 20~30 minutes. The first 100 participants completing the survey will have a 1-in-4 chance of winning a $25 gift certificate; the rest of the respondents completing the survey will have a 1-in-4 chance of winning a $10 gift certificate. Moreover, you will be assisting service providers and employers to learn more about how to improve the job accommodation process for persons with disabilities. If you have any questions about the research study or need alternative survey format, please contact Shengli Dong at 301-405-9126 or by e-mail at yerliang@umd.edu The survey can be accessed at the following link.

Communicating with colleagues, in meetings, with professors or advisement staff, it's a great communication tool. It is not designed to sub for CART or interpreting in the classes. We used it in a previous iteration on campus at my former college as we had no interpreting staff and it was an extremely useful tool for deaf students and visitors on campus to be able to negotiate their way through admissions, advisement, cashiers & financial aid, check out to meet with their profs or a colleague on campus etc. As a DRS manager/accommodations specialist, we used dual monitors & keyboards in my office to have typewritten conversations (achieves the same goal as the UBI DUO).

I have very little experience with it other than confirming that it works and have not used it in a real life setting. It appears quite useful for in-office situations. I question its utility for a portable solution. And to be honest, with the prevalence of mobile devices, I suspect many students could text their conversation or use whatever notetaking/word processing utility they have on their device to serve as an ad hoc communication solution. But for a semi-permanent installation in an office, I think it could work well. But trading off a laptop could serve fairly well too! -*- Dan On Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 9:25 AM, Mike Gibson wrote: > Good Morning all, > > > > My director saw the email for UbiDuo and is interested in exploring > purchasing the device for students who are deaf on campus.

Communicating with colleagues, in meetings, with professors or advisement staff, it's a great communication tool. It is not designed to sub for CART or interpreting in the classes. We used it in a previous iteration on campus at my former college as we had no interpreting staff and it was an extremely useful tool for deaf students and visitors on campus to be able to negotiate their way through admissions, advisement, cashiers & financial aid, check out to meet with their profs or a colleague on campus etc. As a DRS manager/accommodations specialist, we used dual monitors & keyboards in my office to have typewritten conversations (achieves the same goal as the UBI DUO).

We are contacting you because our research team the Center for Assistive Technology and Environmental Access (CATEA) at Georgia Tech in collaboration with Fordham University is trying to learn more about how adults with disabilities adapt to the workplace environment. Our goal is to find out about difficulties experienced in the workplace by adults with disabilities and accommodations that individuals use to cope with these difficulties. To accomplish our goal, we need volunteers to fill out a survey asking questions related to your workplace (whether you work from home or in an office), difficulties experienced at work because of a disability, and your overall well-being. If you choose to participate in the study, you will be asked to fill out an electronic survey. The survey should take approximately *30 minutes* to complete and you have the option of saving your work and returning to the survey at a later time. Please note that your identity will be kept completely *confidential*. The information you provide will be important in helping us learn about the strategies people with disabilities use to accomplish work tasks. Please click the following link to begin filling out the survey: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/249245/computer-use Please contact Michelle Paggi at mpaggi@fordham.edu if you have any questions.

The student has worked with the tech desk and they're not quite sure what's going on either. Since I'm not really familiar with JAWS, does anyone know if this is something that would be fixed if she upgrades her software or should it work with her version and she just needs to make a change to her settings? She's willing to upgrade, but would like to be sure that it'll take care of the problem. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
