Claude, this more or less describes what the Web Content Guidelines Working Group does. I would suggest loking at the guidelines that group has produced, and the furether work that they are looking at doing. In addition, the Education and Outreach group has worked on some alternative presentations of the guidelines - the quicktips card is one, and there are a set of slides which are designed to teach people how to apply the web content guidelines to writing web pages. Further information on these can be found at http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO Cheers Charles McCN On Fri, 19 Nov 1999, Claude Sweet wrote: Can anyone describe a "universal" one approach that solves all accessibility problems? If not, can spokespersons for each type of disability (vision, cognitive, physical, etc.) offer an opinion as to the precise solution that would be an acceptable accommodation for everyone with their specific disability? I would like to hear comments about accessibility issues related to using Windows, Macintosh, and other operating systems. What feedback can you provide about the browser you use? What positive and negative features of your browser relates to your personal access issues? What specific hardware and software have you used? What specific positive and negative issues have you encountered? I would like to take this information and request our local association of community colleges to consider developing a course that addresses access issues in terms of web design with the goal of launching a web site in cooperation with the County Board of Education. Your assistance would be appreciated.
