<p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This is an intermediate level course for designing web
sites and digital material which are not only accessible for persons with
disabilities but also effective and usable across the spectrum of user
abilities and backgrounds and the variety of device platforms. This course will
review standards and guidelines for usability and accessibility, focusing on
the concepts of Universal Design, the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and
accessibility best practices. As an intermediate level course students should
be familiar with the basic concepts of web accessibility, such as the
importance of structured and semantic web design. This course will cover the
specific HTML markup, CSS and JavaScript for designing accessible sites.</p>
