<P>Web Accessibility for Online Learning: A How-To Guide for Creating Accessible
Content</P>
<P>Discover how principles of universal design can help you create course
content that can be accessed and used by anyone, including people with
disabilities.</P>
<P>By the end of this workshop, participants will have a good understanding of
the Universal Design Principles for Online Learning, potential
accessibility/usability issues that need to be considered in course design, and
how to create more accessible/usable course content.</P>
<P>This workshop is offered within 10 consecutive days and requires
approximately one hour of reading per day. 3 small individual assignments will
build on one another to produce a final project submission that will showcase
each participant' understanding of how to apply universal design principles to
communication, teaching, and basic course design, including basic web authoring,
styling, and multimedia considerations. Daily focused group discussion will help
participants gain a better understanding of key design problems, ideas, and
potential solutions. Participants are strongly encouraged to share their ideas,
questions, and answers in the workshop discussions and will be automatically
enrolled in the discussion list upon registration.Additionally, this workshop
will host 3 live, synchronous sessions (on days 1, 7, and 10) via an accessible
web conferencing application called Talking Communities. </P>
