Hi, I've set up a mailing list to discuss issues concerning disabled access to technology at bay area post-secondary institutions. The focus of this list is just not technology, but can discuss such things as: What is a reasonable amount of time for a professor and assistants to spend on accessibility issues? Is it ethical for a professor not to better serve the non-disabled students by using the latest technology in order for disabled students to use technology? Is it the professor's responsibility or is it the university's responsibility, e.g. who provides the resources and training around accessibility? Because technology is changing and because academia can be on the cutting edge of technology, what should be done when there are no community standards or the standards lag behind the technology? (The guidelines are already becoming more out of date with what the general community is / will be using in web technology.) Is it the professor's responsibility to make up for the community's technology gap? How much effort should a professor spend making course materials accessible for people who aren't his students? What co-ordination needs to be done with OCR in order that their findings or recommendations are consistant with the changing technology? What are ways to address providing disabled students with role models of disabled adults who are technologically sophisticated?
