EASI Courses for June
Barrier-free Web Design June 1
What does it mean for a Web page to be accessible and what is the standard? The World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility Initiative has released version 2 of its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The EASI's course has been totally revised to provide Web designers and those interested in Web accessibility an introduction to them. This version is built around 4 principles: Perceiveable, Operable, Understand able and Robust. Even if your site conformed to the previous guidelines, you will want to update your understanding. This course is month-long and provides interaction with a live instructor.
