Online Courses, Links and the Like

I have run across a few links recently that I wanted to pass on. Some of these have been around for awhile, but just recently came on to my radar screen.

First, a couple of sites with training materials/curriculum for accessible web design:

• Advanced Training Course Overview from James Allen, Rob Sartin and James Craig for the Accessibility Internet Rally. and
• The Curriculum for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 developed by the W3C–WAI.

Then a couple of links pages:

• AccessibleNet.org has a tremendous collection of accessibility resources categorized nicely, each category with it’s own RSS Feed. Be sure to check out the Training and eLearning category.
• Also, a solid collection of links to courseware accessibility materials from the Special Needs Opportunity Windows Project.

George Siemens blog pointed me to this list of 2003 Websites for Learning that I enjoyed. That page points to the Youth and Education Section of the Visionary Design Awards for 2003 recognizing sites designed with accessibility for persons with a visual impairment in mind. This list has also been discussed at length at accessifyforums.com.

Lastly, if you haven’t seen this yet, the W3C–WAI has a great document on the Business Benefits of Accessibility Web Design

Enjoy!
