    I read "Apple's AssistiveTouch Helps the Disabled Use a Smartphone" which was posted by Rachel. When I first learned of this topic, immediately I thought of Apple. From my previous coursework as well as being a recent Mac convert, I knew Apple / Steve Jobs had a lot to say about accessibility. Currently I have an iPhone, still one of the older versions. As I got further into my course work one of the things I have played around with is how to incorporate the iPhone's features into the curriculum. As always I'm amazed at Apple's AssistiveTouch technology in how it helps to accommodate those with motor disabilities. Just tap away. Amazing.

Spring 2011: Designing Universally Accessible Web 2.0 Applications - 1 views

  •  
    Illinois Center for Information Technology and Web Accessibility - I thought this was interesting because this is an actual course that teaches how to design Web 2.0 applications so that their functionality is more accessible. As you can see the course offering was for spring 2011 - very recent.
