[Using Sakai] create accessible web pages using the CK editor in Sakai

Wed Apr 15 09:11:46 PDT 2015

Thanks Fawei--as an additional FYI, we're holding an ANI "office
hours" session today (April 15) in one hour, at 1 pm eastern.

We hold these for our ANI clients every two weeks and focus on a
particular practice/tool in Sakai. Today's topic is accessibility--our
guest presenter will be Matt Clare from Brock University and the Sakai
Accessibility Working Group. His presentation will include tips for
creating accessible content with the editor. Jeff Pasch and Kyle
Blythe, from New York University and the Gradebook redesign project,
will also talk about accessibilty for the next-generation Sakai
Gradebook.

After the conversation in the teaching and learning call last week, we
decided to open this session up to the community. We sent out a notice
last week, so this is just a reminder. Here's the registration link
for anyone who is interested:

> At the teaching and learning call last Wednesday (8 April) I presented a short talk “How to create accessible web pages using the Sakai HTML editor”.  The talk generated active discussions around accessibility and usability in Sakai.  In addition to CSS in Lessons tool, I shared the five templates (created by the VLE team here at Oxford)  available in CK editor.
