RE: Welcome to the Accessible Online Learning Community Group

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lisa Snider and I am currently the Archivist at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. As an archivist, I provide long term preservation and access to both analog (think paper) and digital archival materials.

Before becoming an archivist, I worked as a web developer for 14 years and specialized in website accessibility and usability. As an archivist, I have been specializing in website accessibility, but have also branched out into physical accessibility. I am also the first one to work on accessibility and the long term preservation of archival materials.

At the Museum, I am working on many accessibility projects (some Museum wide and others for my area). I can't talk about them yet, but in a few months will be able to publicize them.  I am starting to work more in the educational/e-learning and accessibility area. I am finding that more work needs to be done here to increase accessibility, so that everyone can access online learning. 

Accessibility is my passion! I love changing the world!

I am very excited about working with all of you.

Cheers

Lisa

Hello, and thanks to all who have joined the Accessible Online Learning Community Group! 

Since the group is just getting started, we will be taking some time now to determine how the group should function and to define objectives and activities. One of our first activities will be likely be to create a group charter. Next week we will send along an update with proposed next steps.

In the meantime, if you would like, please take a minute to introduce yourself to the group using this email: public-accesslearn@w3.org. Note that this is a public mailing list, with messages archived in the W3C public archives.
