The SUNY Center for Professional Development (CPD) and Equal Access to Software and Information (EASI) are pleased to offer the following month-long asynchronous online courses:

Barrier-Free Information Technology
Starts Monday, May 5
This course is designed to guide an institution in making both its computer and information technology systems fully accessible to users with disabilities. Digitized information is display-independent, which means it can be input and output in ways that make it available to all users regardless of their abilities. The emphasis of this course is on creating structures that lead to institution-wide system change as required by disability-related legislation.

Creating and Repurposing More Accessible Content
Starts Monday, May 5
This course is designed to support alternative media specialists in creating new documents that are more accessible and in converting existing documents into alternate formats such as Word, PDF, DAISY, and NIMAS. Documents need to be well constructed, which in turn facilitates accessibility. Documents also need to be repurposed to other formats based on organizational need. This course is designed to inspire as many questions as it might provide answers.

Barrier-Free E-learning
Starts Monday, June 2
This course has been significantly updated and also enriched with new multimedia. The course is now based on the realization that course content authors, faculty, and instructional designers are placing content inside a courseware or learning management system. Most of the web accessibility issues relate to that interface, and only a few accessibility features are relevant to the actual course content. This makes creating accessible content much simpler. The revisions focus on a limited set of accessibility issues and also stress how to achieve accessibility using familiar software that designers are already using.
