You're welcome to use the course I prepared, Kristopher: http://trevor.butler.edu/~tmccain/access I made it precisely because the WAI guidelines are rather thick for the folks I help. Soon, I plan to revise the site because of things I have learned in the past few months (it needs to be even simpler and more to the point, I think), and it would be helpful to hear your (and your students') reaction to it. Hope that helps, - tom >A little knowledge can be dangerous. I have a few of the basics down >when it comes to making my pages accessible (i.e. always include ALT >descriptions with images, use <STRONG> instead of <B>, etc.), and >because of this, I've been asked to explain a little about accessibility >to some web-design students.
