Course Content Web Accessibility

Here is a quote from the WebAim site on Universal design importance. "Though estimates vary, most studies find that about one fifth (20%) of the population has some kind of disability. Not all of these people have disabilities that make it difficult for them to access the internet, but it is still a significant portion of the population. Businesses would be unwise to purposely exclude 20, 10, or even 5 percent of their potential customers from their web sites. For schools, universities, and government entities it would not only be unwise, but in many cases, it would also break the law." They also have a great section called Getting Started for you to apply Universal Design to Online Learning. Read more at their web site.
