Hi,

Another online video course you might want to consider is Think Vitamin
- Learn Accessibility.

Link to the Learn Accessibility Video Course: http://j.mp/accessvideos

"Think Vitamin" has made its Learn Accessibility Video Tutorial free.
The course teaches you how to make websites that are full accessible to
everybody, including those with disabilities. It teaches you
Accessibility from the basics through to advanced levels. It covers the
following areas in a series of lessons: Fundamentals, Websites, and Web
Apps.

We have reviewed this course and it gives a good foundation in
accessibility compliance for web developers.

Additionally, for a more comprehensive foundation in creating accessible
content and websites, you might want to look into Lynda Online Training
- Web Accessibility Principles

FYI - Lynda.com is an online training website that has hundreds of
online courses in a wide variety of areas ranging from web design to
Microsoft Office fundamentals. They are not free, but cost approximately
$25 to $35 per month for an individual for taking an unlimited number of
training courses.

Course Name: Web Accessibility Principles -
http://www.lynda.com/Dreamweaver-tutorials/web-accessibility-principles/
448-2.html

Course Summary - Accessibility on the web has been an issue for over a
decade, and it remains a crucial -but often overlooked - element of web
design. Instructor Zoe Gillenwater explains the concept of accessibility
as it applies to the web, and describes how it affects the audience. She
also covers how to set up accessibility testing, and how to apply
accessibility principles to new and existing sites using
standards-compliant markup and CSS. Exercise files accompany the
tutorials.

I hope that this information is of some use to you.
