<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Our distance education group here at OSU has recently been working on this as well. I am not sure that they track costs involved in doing so, but could maybe ask them for some information.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Since our LMS is fairly accessible, the challenge of course lies in getting buy-in from faculty on making the content they use in their classes accessible. We’re still forming strategies around that, some of
them are happy to work on doing that and others we have to find other ways to encourage accessibility.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">They do have an accessibility strategy that they plan to follow which is fairly well formed. They work closely with the director of our Web Accessibility Center and myself to evaluate tools and systems they are
planning to include in their suite of tools for instructors. They have also recently hired an instructional designer with accessibility experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering what you as my colleagues would suggestion in response to this email I received from my campus’ Learning Strategy Consultant. I have a list but I don’t think they are the best of resources—and I know that most of you have
more hands-on experience than I do in this area. See the request below:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks ahead of time for your responses—and for your insight as well! Oh yeah, and sorry for the cross-posting.<o:p></o:p></p>
