The webcast will use Cheetah Broadcasting technology. Users will hear the presentation, see a real time transcription and view the exhibits as they are shown in the conference center. Users will also be able to participate in the event by submitting questions and responding to interactive surveys. 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. Tunie in on this webcast on August 6 between 9-10 am central daylight time.
