Creating Accessible Multimedia for People with Disabilities

  Workshop Description  
  Individuals who have visual, hearing, motor, or learning disabilities often have difficulty accessing information and multimedia contained in web-based resources. According to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, Federal agencies can no longer ignore these users and must adopt practices that make all such resources offered available to people with disabilities. In this workshop, you will get a chance to interact with developed multimedia, and interactive elements that are accessible to individuals with disabilities. You will also get a chance to investigate the capabilities of production software that will allow you to create various media formats that will allow for the accommodations needed by your students with disabilities.
