EASI's Two May Courses Barrier-free Information Technology Creating and Repurposing More Accessible Content The first of these month-long, online courses is a good, general overview of what is needed for an institution or organization to make all of its information technology accessible to everyone. Information technology provides the opportunity to make a level learning and working space for everyone, but, poor design can throw up new and needless barriers instead. http://easi.cc/workshops/adaptit.htm The second provides tips and experiences in creating accessible content using the authoring tools we use every day. Most of us never had training in using these applications and are self-taught. Mastering the features built into the application and structuring the content well will make our content better, more professional and more accessible. Using these features also means that when the content is converted or repurposed into different document or file types, the structure of the content will probably also be converted. The course, for the first time, will begin to look at the e-book formats being used by today's e-book publishers. http://easi.cc/workshops/text.htm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
