  Mark Your Calendars for the 2008 Accessible Technology On-line Seminars

  The DBTAC-Great Lakes ADA Center is sponsoring a new on-line seminar
  series
  on accessible technology in 2008. The goal of the series is to increase
  awareness on technology accessibility for people with disabilities.
  Each
  session will be held from 1:00pm-2:00pm Central Time.  Please note the
  time will be different
  if you live in a different time zone.

  This on-line series will utilize an internet based conferencing system.
  The
  Online Conferencing System is a fully accessible integrated data and
  voice
  medium that enables users to conduct workshops over the internet from
  just
  about any computer with a network connection and web browser.
  Participation
  is enhanced with use of a personal microphone.

  Schedule is as follows:

  February 11, 2008 State Laws Addressing Accessibility

  Several states have passed and implemented laws specific to website and
  other technology accessibility. This seminar will highlight the recently
  passed Illinois Information Technology Accessibility Act and talked
  about
  other states that have implemented such laws.

  March 3, 2008 Web Accessibility for Students with Disabilities

  In 1987, 3.6% of youth with disabilities went on to two year colleges,
  while
  in 2003, 20.8% did so.  Attention to the learning and information
  technology
  of these youth is imperative, if they are to gain equitable access both
  to
  education and subsequently to employment.  This presentation will
  provide
  information on a web-based tool for community college student affairs
  and
  information technology personnel to assist in the formulation of a
  campus-wide plan for web and IT accessibility for students with
  disabilities.  This tool was an outgrowth of several years of research
  conducted by the Employment and Disability Institute and Institute for
  Community College Development in the ILR School at Cornell University.

  May 19, 2008 Accessible Computer Applications

  Many jobs now require interaction with various computer applications,
  such
  as record keeping and database systems. Inaccessibility of these
  applications can seriously hinder job performance for individuals with
  disabilities. This seminar will discuss accessibility issues with common
  workplace computer applications and how to make them accessible.

  August 11, 2008 ADA and Website Accessibility

  The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not explicitly discuss
  whether it applies to websites, and thus far, there have been few cases.
  Website accessibility cases courts have reached different conclusions as
  to
  whether websites are covered under the ADA. This session will discuss
  recent
  legal developments and their potential implications.

  September 29, 2008 Learning and Accessibility

  It is expected that e-learning will become part of everyday life in many
  organizations in the next few years. As e-Learning expands, the gap will
  widen between people who can fully benefit from e-Learning and those who
  will be excluded because of inaccessible design. This seminar will
  address
  strategies for businesses to improve their knowledge and implementation
  of
  accessible e-Learning.
