2012-06-13 Accessibility and Innovative Design

Description

Come join the discussion of how accessibility can improve usability for all users without stiffing innovation.

We will discuss the needs of users with disabilities, the technology they use, and share experiences we have heard from users.

This a chance to interact and ask questions of the Accessibility Working Group so together we may develop ideas on how to make many of the new and exciting features in Sakai OAE usable to users of assistive technology.
