Hi there, I work for the Australian Taxation Office developing on-line interactive training resources for our staff. The Australian Government has adopted guidelines based on the W3C guidelines for accessibility and this has significant implications for our current resources as well as those we wish to develop in the future. Our on-line training sites are different from our normal information sites because of their higher interactivity and we see those interactions as being essential for effective learning. Simple yes/no or true/false or multiple choice type interactions are not a problem as far as accessibility is concerned. However we do make considerable use of text entry interactions and multiple selection interactions. (Multiple selection is where the user must tick some of many check boxes to get the correct answer. For example, 3 from 5.) We generate these questions using Coursebuilder for Dreamweaver and they can enrich a learning site substantially. But how can we use these interactions and still make them accessible to the visually impaired? I've been searching the net and can find plenty of tools to evaluate our pages but none to show me how to make those specific interactions accessible. Can anyone help me or at least point me in the right direction? Regards, Robert Duffield
