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.

Cheers

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