Hi, Esteemed List.

I am requesting funds from my institution of the next fiscal year and want
to ask your opinions about what would be the best use of our time and
money. I have been charged with making our instructional technology
tools/content as accessible as we can and am at the beginning stages of
learning how to do that. We are also drafting a campus-wide accessibility
plan that we hope will become official in a few months. The goals are to
make it so I know what we need to do to make our instructional technology
usage accessible and to help our institution move forward with its broader
accessibility planning and goals.

Here's my wish list so far (No, I will not get to do all of these):
- Accessing Higher Ground (attended twice already)
- AHEAD (Gonna be there in July! Whoohoo!)
- CSUN (Maybe in 2014?)

I would also like to her from you regarding what web-based training
offerings have proven useful for you.

Any feedback is welcome. Feel free to contact me off-list at
<EMAIL REMOVED> .

Thanks a bunch,

Rachel
