Accessible Web Design
ARL/OLMS Online Lyceum Course
October 18-November 5, 2004
http://www.arl.org/training/web.html
Cost: $300 ARL members/$350 nonmembers

Web sites that do not account for the wide variety of end-user 
environments may end up excluding certain populations. However, by 
adhering to accessibility standards, they are capable of broadcasting to 
an even larger audience through new devices that are otherwise unable to 
read your webpages, such as Web tools to assist people with 
disabilities, Personal Data Assistant (PDAs), Web TV, and other 
information appliances.

In this facilitated course you will:

* think critically about the issues related to accessibility and the 
practice of Web design;
* consider the various needs of your audience; and
* become familiar with the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Priority 
Level One accessibility guidelines and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation 
Act Amendments of 1998.
