Front Page Today's News Information Technology Teaching ... Help From the issue dated October 29, 1999 Colleges Strive to Give Disabled Students Access to On-Line Courses By DAN CARNEVALE As they race to expand their distance-education offerings, colleges and universities are finding that they must include the virtual equivalents of wheelchair ramps when building their on-line classrooms. They must accommodate, for instance, the sophomore who can't see the impressive navigational graphics on a Web page because he's blind, and the graduate student who can't listen to a streamed audio lecture because she's deaf. In fact, many students with disabilities find that Web sites' technological extravaganzas are more of a burden than an aid. Distance-education administrators and advocates for people with disabilities agree that provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Vocational Rehabilitation Act apply generally to on- line education programs. But the courts are still sorting out the specifics of the laws' requirements, and many faculty members find themselves learning about on-line accessibility as they go. Meanwhile, some colleges and universities are preparing their own accessibility guidelines, hoping to make faculty and staff members think carefully about the needs of students who may not be able to see, hear, or move well. And some Web sites are offering helpful advice on accessibility for anyone planning to put information on line.
