WebAccess

WebAccess is meeting each Friday morning in September, from 8:30 - 10
in 2195 Hearst, Room 200C. We will be working with the CalMail Team
on September 7, the College of Engineering on September 14, and
Career Compass from Human Resources (mapping all staff positions to
new descriptions) on September 28. On September 21, we'll be
reviewing the proposed e-Accessibility policy and guidelines for all
the UCs (see http://www.ucop.edu/irc/itaccessibility/welcome.html,
under "Policy Initiatives") that Shel Waggener, our Berkeley CIO, has
been instrumental in forming. Your students are more than welcome to
come. They just need to let Lucy and Caroline know beforehand. We
review sites by running them through Lucy's screen reader and use
that analysis to make suggestions to improve sites from a
low-vision/blind/color-deficiency perspective and also as a portal to
discuss ways to improve the site from the perspective of other
disabilities, e.g., repetitive stress injuries/motor skills,
cognitive and learning disabilities.
