The Accessibility in Distance Education (ADE) Web site focuses on helping faculty develop accessible online learning materials for people with disabilities. It is divided into five major sections, targeting common accessibility questions.

Common Questions

What does the word "accessibility" mean? (What is Accessibility?)

What disability laws should I know about if I teach online? (Legal Issues)

What do I need to consider if I have a student with a disability in my online course? (Understanding Disabilities)

How do I make my Web site accessible to everyone, including students with disabilities? (How-To)

What does an accessible Web site look like? Does it have to be text based? (Best Practices)

This Web site focuses on Web-based education rather than classroom-based instruction.
