EASI Webinar: Making Electronic Information Accessible toAll

For many of us, the process has been slow, but it is encouraging and exciting to see that real progress is becoming a reality. Pearson is only one of many publishers dedicated to design more of their publications to be fully accessible.

This webinar is Tuesday March 28 at 11am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1pm Central and 2pm Eastern

Pearson, with divisions around the world, is progressively working to make their education and assessment products accessible to all learners, including those with physical, cognitive or learning disabilities. To penetrate such a large, global company with accessibility as a major commitment requires a giant culture change.

During this presentation, members of the Accessibility for School Assessment team will discuss efforts and recommendations around implementing accessibility in content and product development. Discussion will include topics such as building an accessibility team, promoting an accessible work environment, creating an education plan to train internal staff, identifying and implementing accessibility principles and guidelines, increasing the accessibility of products and platforms, and other challenges.

You can register for this webinar by going to the EASI home page (easi.cc) and look for webinars scheduled in March. If you register, you will also have access to the webinar archive.
