2 What will be covered: Why documents should be made accessible Types of documents How to create accessible documents Built-In technology to help test documents for accessibility Third Party Solutions DEMO Questions
3 Rehabilitation Act Law Applies to Mandates Section 504 Section 508 Federal, State and Local government, Educational agencies, Companies (Corporate Private), any facility receiving Federal funds Federal entities and States that have adopted similar regulations No otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall, solely by reason of his/ her disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity of a public entity. Requires that any electronic and information technology (EIT) procured, developed, used or maintained by Federal agencies must be accessible to employees and members of the public with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. Section 508 was enacted to: 1) eliminate barriers in information technology, 2) make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and 3) encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals.
4 ADA/VITA Law Applies to Mandates Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Virginia Information Technology Accessibility Standard (GOV ) Unlike section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which only covers programs receiving Federal financial assistance, title II extends to all the activities of State and local governments whether or not they receive Federal funds. All Commonwealth of Virginia Executive Branch agencies and institutions of higher learning. May not refuse to allow a person with a disability to participate in a service, program, or activity simply because the person has a disability. Must provide programs and services in an integrated setting, unless separate or different measures are necessary to ensure equal opportunity. Outlines the minimum accessibility requirements for procurement, development, or maintenance of electronic and information technology systems. The Standard also requires that Commonwealth of Virginia (COV) employees with disabilities and members of the public with disabilities have access to and use of information and data comparable to the access and use of Commonwealth employees and the public who do not have disabilities.
5 What is included in Section 508?. Electronic and Information Technology Software Applications and Operating Systems Web-Based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications Telecommunications Products (If it is a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) or software then it may also include and/or ) Video and Multimedia Products (If implemented on the web will also require )
6 Self Contained and Closed Products (Ex: Copiers, Fax and Kiosks) Desktop and Portable Computers Functional Performance Criteria (Must be accessible with assistive technology) Information, Documentation and Support (Must also be accessible) **Section 508 only applies to visual, hearing and mobility impairments**
7 Why documents should be made accessible Cliché, but correct answer: Because it s the law!! ADA/Section 508 Helps Mason comply with Federal, State, and Local government standards (i.e., Penn State, Arizona State, Google Apps for Education) Penn State (settled Sept 2011) library s online database, Angel LMS, departmental websites, smart podiums, ATMs Arizona State (settled Jan. 2010) Kindle Reader pilot Google (initiated March 2011) Just recently DOJ under ADA created a settlement agreement with Fairfax County, VA to ensure accessibility of both physical and online material. Other reasons: Reaches a wider audience (i.e., captioning, older users, ESL) Search engines optimization favors accessible websites Mobile phone access
8 What does IT Accessibility Mean to you? Mason has policy and an ATI Committee put in place: ATI Office has worked with ITU Instructional Designers and are available to provide support and consultation to faculty who needs assistance with building accessible courses, administration who needs assistance with designing accessible sites and content and work closely with ODS who determines appropriate accommodations. Where does this apply? Online courses Face-to-Face Courses that use online resources For example: Blackboard and Piazza Websites For example: CommonSpot, Word Press, 3 rd Party Services Website Content For example: Documents, Videos, etc. Online and Desktop Applications Library Databases What role can you play to help increase accessibility?
9 Roles and Responsibilities: How are you involved with accessibility? Do you use Blackboard or another Learning Management System (LMS)? Do you use websites in class or for posting information? Do you create or post documents or videos online for class? Do you use technology (i.e., wikis, etc.) for your class assignments? Do you use visuals or play audio/video in the classroom that give important info pertaining to the class? Do you use webinars, or other classroom capture or conference technology or record your class for review?
10 Roles and Responsibilities: How are you involved with accessibility? When overseeing or working on projects do you integrate accessibility into the planning process? Do you train your staff on accessibility so it comes from a top-down approach? Do you influence or decide on technology purchases, if so have you considered accessibility? Do you oversee computer classroom settings, is it accessible? Do you develop Policies, procedures or guidelines for you offices or employees? If so, have you included accessibility? When creating committees, have you included someone from the ATI office to help with accessibility?
11 Roles and Responsibilities: How are you involved with accessibility? Do you influence or decide on technology purchases? Do you develop websites, applications or documents? Do you oversee computer classroom settings? Do you manage others who may work on the above mentioned? Do you work in multimedia or telecommunications? Do you use or help faculty use webinars, other classroom capture or conference technology?
12 If you answered Yes to any of these questions, you may be.. Posting, Distributing, Creating/Developing, Using, Maintaining Inaccessible Information. What can you do to make it accessible?
13 Design Considerations Visual Images should be optimized and include descriptive alt tags Description of the file you have uploaded Text description provides access to understanding what is being conveyed Brief, clear, and contextual Learning/Mobility/Visual/Other Alternative formats of materials for students who require them (e.g. optional print packet of extensive online reading materials, CD of audio clips) ODS provides students an accommodation to receive these materials in an accessible electronic format ATI works to cut, scan, and re-format! Hearing/ESL/Learning Caption video or transcribed audio
14 Overall Usability Text should be legible and re-sizeable 14 point font size is ideal Considerations Using a clear sans serif font such as Helvetica or Arial Document compatibility and accessibility Is the document in a format that can be opened on various machines, versions of software or mobile? If the format isn t accessible, is an alternative available? Use of color should add interest and indicate interface choices, but should not disadvantage those with color blindness White text on a black background is usually best
