Kynn: You may be interested in a free online workshop on accessible curriculum design which we are offering through the Adaptive Technology Resource Centre at U of Toronto. The purpose of the three week workshop is to provide a user-friendly introduction to the functioning of adaptive tech, basics of accessible HTML, with optional resources for those who are readly for more. I am still working on the content of the course, but it will up on Oct. 13. The URL for info on this, and our other online courses related to special education is: http://snow.utoronto.ca/courses.html We also have an accessible web design service, called Web-Savvy, and have posted a summary list of the WAI standards which we are using as design guidelines. This is not a learning tool, but rather a short list of all accessibility standards, divided into "Required Protocols" (Priority 1), or "Recommended Protocols" (Priority 2, 3). http://www.utoronto.ca/atrc/web-savvy/standards.html The "Research and Development" section of the ATRC web site also provides some good summary information on accessible web design: http://www.utoronto.ca/atrc/rd/rd.html Hope this helps!
