Basic Web Accessibility: Understanding WCAG 2.0 - Webinar - Nov 16, 2011
Click here to register
What:If you're tasked with helping ensure your organization produces accessible web content, you've probably heard of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0). As the most widely used international guidelines on web accessibility, and the basis for many federal and local standards, it's important to understand WCAG. In this webinar, we'll explore the relationship between WCAG 2.0, WCAG 1.0, and Section 508. We'll also discuss how to apply the WCAG 2.0 guidelines to actual web content, and the differences between A, AA, AAA level conformance. Despite all the acronyms and abbreviations, this webinar is intended for people who are new to web accessibility or new to WCAG.
Learning Goals:
Learn how WCAG 2.0 fits into big picture of web accessibility guidelines and standards
Understand what each of the guidelines means in practical terms
Leave with a set of online references for achieving conformance
When: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 11:00 - 12:00 Mountain Standard Time

November 12th - Implementing AAC in the Classroom with Kelly Fonner, Consultant, Fonner Consulting & Training OVERVIEW: Challenges are often met when introducing AAC systems from the clinical or
"speech-room" setting into the busy environment of the classroom. The "real-world" of
communication does not always play out easily for the student using AAC. Whether they are using
lo-tech or hi-tech systems there are strategies that can assist staff and families in bringing AAC into
the school day. During this webinar you will learn to evaluate the AAC-using student's day by
communication contexts and reevaluate the possibilities of how your student can more effectively
communicate, learn vocabulary or communication strategies during the typical activities of their
school day.

Accessibility in Distance Education Training - Webinar - May 10, 2012 - 0 views

Click here to register for this webinar What:
This session will provide an overview of accessibility issues related to distance education training and learning environments. Distance Education, through both synchronous and asynchronous delivery, provide expanded opportunities to access training content as well as to interact with others within a convenient environment. Yet, accessibility of Distance Education tools, such as Blackboard and Adobe Connect, can frequently pose significant barriers to individuals with disabilities because they do not work well, if at all, with assistive technology tools designed to support those individuals. During this session we will feature commonly used Distance Education tools to highlight accessibility issues as well as to provide a framework for matching tools based on user needs and preferences.

May 5, 2010, Washington, DC:--The Coalition of Organizations for Accessible Technology (COAT) thanks Senators Mark Pryor (AR) and John Kerry (MA) for introducing the “Equal Access to 21st Century Communications Act” (S. 3304). The measure is a major step forward for people with disabilities in ensuring accessible technology. Also co-sponsoring are Senators Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad, both from North Dakota. Similar to the “Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act” (H.R. 3101) introduced in the U.S. House, S. 3304 would modernize disability accessibility mandates in the Communications Act, bringing existing requirements up to date as television and phone services connect via the Internet and use new digital and broadband technologies.
