Designing Access to Web Based Resources and Environments Project
The focus of this project is to set a CBE standard in regard to the development of universally accessible web based resources that enhance access to learning.
In web site design, accessibility is a measure of how easy it is to access, read, and understand the content of a web site. Many educators design, build and use web sites for teaching and learning purposes on a daily basis. The development of an ePD course on Web Accessibility provides a professional learning opportunity for educators to learn how to evaluate web sites and how to incorporate accessibility options as they build their own websites and teach these concepts to students.
The three week course provides opportunities to:
- increase teacher awareness of website accessibility issues
- develop an understanding of how to create appropriately accessible web-based resources for students
- allow teachers to potentially provide leadership for students in their own creation of web-based learning resources
