  Workshop Description  
   
  Is the World Wide Web a public space? And if so, does the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) extend to this place? Most would answer yes to both of these questions, but how do you make a web site handicapped accessible? That is the central focus of this short course. We will begin with an introduction to web standards and section 508 compliance. From that framework, Dreamweaver's built-in accessibility features will be explored. Tools that check the accessibility of web sites will be considered and support options at Virginia Tech and beyond will be outlined. Hands-on activities will be an integral part of this session.
