[Athen] looking for speaker in NYC area

[Prof Norm Coombs]

I got a request for a speaker in the NYC vicinity re disabilities access 
for training faculty....Not sure if it is a half day, all day or more. I'm 
not sure they know yet either. It is for West Chester Community College.
Dick Banks and I did an all-day event for them plus some online follow-up 
probably 5-6 years ago. I think most of the faculty found it challenging 
and interesting but let it go in one ear and out the other.
It now sounds like they are a bit more willing to learn.
We stressed Word, PowerPoint, some Excel some multimedia especially 
captions and a beginner understanding of html accessibility as faculty 
won't be really doing Web sites but could use help in making course lessons 
they put online or in Blackboard accessible when the simple content gets 
repurposed into html.

Please contact me if you are interested and I'll make the contact with WCC 
staff.

Norm
