FROM BARRIERS TO BRIDGES: APPROACHING ACCESSIBILITY IN COURSE DESIGN
Evangeline (Litsa) Varonis United States The value of
accessibility is internationally recognized, and the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C) has standardized guidelines for accessibility.

remains a challenge to offer rich multimedia as accessible content

barriers into bridges |
