Greg et al:

Below, I'll provide a few links that may point you in the right
direction. There are many, many free Webinars and low-cost seminars,
once you know how to watch for them.

For the benefit of the list, I thought I'd mention that both
Knowbility and EZFire are hosting crowd-funded campaigns to establish
online courses. These both are being widely promoted on Twitter. The
links follow, but I want to stress that I am affiliated with neither
organization, so I am sharing the information, only; this is not a commercial!

and

It will be great to be able to learn from whatever gets funded.

Since, as far as I can see, a lot of accessibility knowledge is
shared via Twitter, these days, you might want to follow some of the
Twitter lists cited in this post:

Though the discussion wasn't entirely online-focused, I'll point you
to a previous WebAIM thread in which the topic of training,
generally, was discussed. It's here:
http://webaim.org/discussion/mail_message?id=25311

Patrick mentioned WebAIM's training (held in May), and it is coming
up again in August:

Yes, I realize WebAIM's training isn't online, but it's worth considering.

Greg, if you haven't studied all of the articles on the WebAIM site,
I'd highly recommend doing that.


Best,
Jennifer
