The challenge of web
accessibility raises issues of both policy
and technology. Join experts in each of
these two areas in this free April 4
EDUCAUSE Live! web seminar,
The Why and How of Web Accessibility, as
presenters
Harry Hochheiser,
Assistant Professor of Computer and
Information Sciences, Towson University, and
Tracy Mitrano, Director of
IT Policy and Computer Policy and Law
Program, Cornell University, discuss this
important topic.
Policy guru Tracy Mitrano
says: "Developing a web accessibility policy
has been one of the greatest but most
rewarding challenges I have faced in
creating an IT policy framework at Cornell.
With the EDUCAUSE Live! audience, I would
like to share some of the struggles and
stories about that process and what
accessibility, education, and the web have
come to mean to me as a result."
Technology expert Harry
Hochheiser summarizes: "Although the need
for accessible web sites is widely accepted,
many developers are still uncertain about
the costs and limitations associated with
designs that account for users with varying
skills, capabilities, and computing tools.
Fortunately, these problems are solvable:
with proper planning and design, web sites
can be interactive, engaging, highly
functional, and accessible. The combination
of accessibility guidelines and automated
evaluation tools can help any developer
build sites that are more accessible and
usable for all users."
