Elaborating on Online Accessibility - Inside Higher Ed
Listen up, onliners! The Department of Education is rapidly clearing up any misunderstandings that accessibility laws apply to non-public, online institutions. The sticking point in the latest proclamation, however, is whether universities can pursue technological innovations without worrying about being penalized if the new technology is non-compliant. Unfortunately, new technology is often not accessiblity compliant when first introduced, and the only effective way to make it accessible is to implement it and work with it.
I am a huge advocate of accessible digital content, but would hope that we can pursue a balance that would continue to encourage and promote innovation.
