However, inadequate HTML coding and inappropriate use of graphics create barriers for the disabled. Learn how to avoid this trap by designing Web pages that ensure access to students with disabilities and conform to disability legislation. The workshop will demonstrate examples of accessible and inaccessible Web pages, show you simple techniques for writing accessible HTML coding, and provide practical information to assist you in Web page design. Modern information technology has amazing potential to link people from remote distances and to be displayed in ways to meet the diverse learning and working skills of all people. Text display, graphic presentation and auditory presentation together provide multiple communication channels.
People learn best when presented provided with multiple sensory information sources.
This also means that people with communication disabilities, deaf, blind and others are included automatically in the audience. This webcast has two main functions. First it will demonstrate distance learning techniques that provide universal access. Second, the workshop will describe how to design web pages that will also provide barrier-free universal access to web information. We believe one of our roles is to explore the opportunities provided by new technologies to make universal access a reality in tomorrow's world.
