- WebCT Accessibility.
- Murray Rowan of the Digital Media Access Group, a web usability and accessibility auditing service, has a look at the output from WebCT, the popular web based CBL (Computer Based Learning) courseware package.
- However, because courseware development software is highly automated, and is a relatively new field, most courseware development software currently available has some accessibility difficulties.
- WebCT is aware of these issues and intends to include more accessibility features in version 3 of their product which will be available in June 2000. ... A review of the accessibility issues concerning the currently available versions 1 and 2 of WebCT is given below.
- Because of these problems, designers have to create alternative navigation and bulletin board systems to ensure accessibility. ...
- Accessibility is further compromised by the lack of opportunity to include ALT text in pages generated by the courseware. ...
- To this end, WebCT is targeting Version 3, which is to be released in June 2000 for additional changes to improve accessibility. In the meantime, educators should use WebCT Version 2 with caution regarding accessibility.
- However, WebCT acknowledges the accessibility issues, and seems to be actively pursuing development of a more accessible interface.

- Disabled Accessibility: The Pragmatic Approach.
- It has gotten much easier to advise people on making it possible for users with disabilities to use a website: just follow the official Web Accessibility Initiative Standard (WAI) from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). ...
- 16 lower-priority rules that do improve accessibility but can be violated without hurting users too much. ...
- In practice, it is necessary to prioritize standard-compliance on large sites and plan a staged roll-out of accessibility: .
- The home page and high-traffic pages should be redesigned to follow the high-priority accessibility rules immediately. ...
- Medium-traffic pages should be gradually redesigned to follow the high-priority accessibility rules. ...
- As a longer-term goal, redesign high-traffic pages to follow all three levels of accessibility rules and recommend that new pages also follow the lower-priority rules as much as possible. ...
- Some accessibility advocates will deplore this staged approach and demand that all pages be made to comply with all the rules immediately. Unfortunately, this is simply not possible for most sites and managers will ignore accessibility unless they are presented with a plan that works and places the most important improvements first. Follow Proprietary Accessibility Guidelines.
