Universal Design/Access

Distance Learning Universal Design, Universal Access via OLDaily
Quote: "Distance learning courses offer opportunities for education and career enhancement for those who have access to the technologies they employ. However, many people find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide that separates those with access to new technologies and those without. Even if they have access to these technologies, some people with disabilities find themselves on the wrong side of a second digital divide that is caused by the inaccessible design of coursework."
Comment: Good overview of developing a policy for accessibility is listed at the end of the article.
