I noticed on the website that the start date was December 4, 2007. Was this
a typo or just a VERY early announcement?

Subject: [WebAIM] Accessibility of eLearning

FYI, an accessibility of elearning seminar starts 4 Dec. If you are involved
in elearning or have interest in it, please come join the forum.

>From http://scope.lidc.sfu.ca/

Facilitators: Catherine Fichten and Jennison Asuncion
Description: For the past three years, the Adaptech Research Network has
been investigating the accessibility of eLearning (e.g., PowerPoint in the
classroom, online tests) to Canadian college and university students with
visible and invisible disabilities. During this seminar, Jennison and
Catherine will describe the research and share some early findings from
their 409 research participants:

-college and university students with disabilities who have used eLearning
-professionals who provide disability-related accommodations on campus
-faculty who have taught a course where they used some form of eLearning and
had at least one student with a disability in that course, and -individuals
who support/drive eLearning at their institution.

They will also be eager to hear about your experiences teaching using
eLearning with people with disabilities, your successes, and lessons
learned. Wherever possible, they will provide guidance and suggestions, as
well as facilitate the sharing of best practices among participants.
