Forwarding
The National Center on Disability and Access to Education will host
another in our series of webcasts. Join us Wednesday, November 30th, 2005
for the live audio Webcast. The broadcast will begin at 1PM Mountain
Daylight Savings Time (12:00PM Pacific; 2:00PM Central; 3:00PM Eastern).
Overview
Almost every college or university in the U.S. uses electronic information
technology for class registration, financial aid services, and course
grades and transcripts. As education-based web services become more
complex, students and faculty with non-traditional computer interface
abilities face greater barriers. The needs of students and faculty who use
assistive technology such as screen readers or who don't use a mouse are
seldom considered as web-based services are designed and implemented. The
three panelists invited to participate in the November 30, 2005 NCDAE
webcast will address these issues from various perspectives including
disability student services, web design and university information
technology administration.
The webcast is free of charge and will feature speakers nationally known
for their work in accessibility and student information systems. The panel
will answer questions that are submitted by listeners.
You will be able to tune in to the audio-only broadcast free of charge
beginning 10 minutes before the broadcast begins. The broadcast will last
approximately one hour. You will be able to tune in using your computer
using either Windows Media Player or Quicktime. Archives (transcript and
audio) will be available shortly after the conclusion of the broadcast.
The broadcast will be captioned for the deaf and hard of hearing and
archives will be available a few days after the conclusion of the
broadcast.
Panelists
* Ron Stewart, Technology Access Program at Oregon State University
