Hello Kitara:



We noticed that you posted on the athen-list that you are seeking a
“reputable company” to perform WCAG accessibility compliance audits on
websites and online classrooms.  We have the experience you are seeking, as
we have worked with a number of colleges and universities to perform these
types of services.



In addition to conducting WCAG compliance audits, we also have skilled
blind screen reader users who can perform user testing within the LMS and
specific online courses, if that holds any interest for you.  It is not as
comprehensive as the full audit would be, of course, but it’s often
extremely useful for assessing whether anyone requiring the use of a screen
reader in order to take a course will be able to navigate and interact with
the LMS and with everything contained within the specific course.



I would be happy to speak with you about our background, or team, and our
methodologies, if you are interested in learning more.  Unfortunately, I am
out of the office tomorrow (Friday), but will be here Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday next week if there is a day/time you would like to
suggest for a call?



Looking forward to hearing back from you if you are interested in exploring
how The Carroll Center could work with you and UMUGC.  Thank you for
considering us.



Bruce
