There was some stuff about developing standards for distance learning systems on the list a while back and I wonder if anyone in that general area is aware of the stuff Kelly references herein: -- Love. ACCESSIBILITY IS RIGHT - NOT PRIVILEGE http://dicomp.pair.com
attached mail follows:
Hi All, WebCT is a software program designed to create online courses used in distance education. The company's home page for the software is at: http://homebrew.cs.ubc.ca/webct/webct.html I have only explored the results that the program creates for perhaps 30 minutes so take that into consideration. The program seems to create a lot of Javascript links and such that lack alt-tags and end up creating very confusing URLs. However several colleges that I know of here in Oregon have adopted the technology to do their distance education. I'm wondering if anyone is already working with the WebCT folks to address the use of this software by people with disabilities. In browsing through their home page I haven't found any accessibility info. KellyReceived on Wednesday, 24 February 1999 17:33:21 GMT
