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.<br>
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.<br>
It now sounds like they are a bit more willing to learn.<br>
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.<br><br>
Please contact me if you are interested and I'll make the contact with
WCC staff.<br><br>
