HWG Course D201: Accessible Web Design

The HWG's web accessibility course features information
on Section 508 requirements, access devices, the W3C's
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, and more! This
introductory course will change the way you think about the
Web, and ensure that as broad an audience as possible can use
the sites you create, regardless of disability, browser type,
or access method.
For more information, please see the D201 course information
site at:

STUDENT FEEDBACK
Here's what some past students of the course are saying
about D201: Accessible Web Design:
"I have no problem praising HWG's Accessible Web Design course.
The course was thorough and enlightening. I commented on the
class with a friend who had taken another accessible design
course and he was impressed by the level of this course.
Apparently the course that he had taken did not possess the
depth of discussion on accessibility issues nor the practical
implementation of techniques that this course did. Consequently,
he bought Paciello's book and is planning to enroll in a future
session of this course." --Clay Berglund
"Before I took this course, accessible web design was a confusing
mishmash of federal guidelines and recommendations. Now I'm
coding sites that meet guidelines..." --Gillian Murrey
"This course was a great enrichment to my knowledge about Web
accessibility, because it forced me to put my hands on existing
tools rather than just read about them or discuss them verbally."
--Gottfried E. Zimmermann
"Kynn and Liz provided resources and food for thought which,
along with the inputs of my classmates, helped me formulate a
draft policy for web accessibility at LCC and an 'attack plan'
to make existing sites more accessible." --Anita F. Lees

Hi Kynn,
I've been trying to reserve a place on the course, but it seems REALLY hard:
the coursepage says it's $100 (and I only am allowed to spend the $70
mentioned here earlier), and it looks like I have to jump through a lot of
hoops to do it. Do I have to become a member of the writers guild (whatever
that is) in order to do the course? Is there no easy way where I can just
pay? On the member page it asks me my email and then gives me this error:
"Please enter another value in field login." (I tried twice) So even though
I want to pay you money it is NOT POSSIBLE for me to do that. GRRRR!!!!
So if there is an easy way to just pay for the course I'd be happy to hear
about it. Thanks :)
Peter

Hi, Peter --
Apparently the price on HWG/IWA classes went up on January -- was a
surprise to me, too! It's cheaper (by $1) to become a HWG/IWA member
if you only take one class, and if you take more than one class it's
a definite winner. (There are a lot of really good HWG/IWA classes
available.)

I'm not sure about the specifics of enrolling; you can contact
= EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = if you continue to have problems. (I'm not responsible
for the mechanics of signing up, just for teaching the class! If
you or anyone else has specific accessibility related problems,
let me know...)
