| List,
|
| I'm giving a presentation on Accessibility to a group of computer
science
| majors. I'm interested in any topics that this list would recommend
be
| covered.
|
| I plan on discussing Web accessibility, and designing accessible
software. Of
| course, I will use the Section 508 and W3C materials as a beginning
point.
| I'm open to additional suggestions of what computer science majors
should know
| about accessibility.
|
| thanks

The Recent release of an Updated piece at W3/WAI is a good one to
present. Or even read and outline some points. It reflects both the
Market Share aspects and the Technical Effectiveness benefits to
businesses, etc... when pages are coded or developed to accessibility
and guidelines - which often run hand in hand.

In these areas it covers Semantic Web, Internationalization aspects,
readiness for delivery to future devices, portability to a variety of
devices, etc... Good read and might make a nice presentation to outline
or summarize these benefits and chart the effectiveness for each area.
Much of this can be applied to all Internet and Intranet web sites.

the piece is located at:
Auxiliary Benefits of Accessible Web Design [updated March 24, 2002]
