This isn’t a topic I discuss much, but it’s come up twice this week, so I thought I’d mention it.
I’ve been working with Melissa (Office of Disability Services) for some time, on making WOU’s technology more accessible. To be very honest, I still don’t understand much more than the tip of the iceberg, but we are working together on it, and I’m learning. We all are 🙂
This week we discuss a document provided to us to begin evaluating Access Technologies on campus. We also recently received a Webex demonstration from a vendor who scans the website for normal stuff like broken links and misspellings – but they can also scan for Accessibility compliance (including section 508).
Next year I expect we’ll be implementing some trainings and disseminating some information for website editors and developers alike.
