>Description of the Multimedia month-long course in December:
>
>Educational and other information providers on the Internet are increasingly
>using multimedia as a means to disseminate information. Multimedia 
>poses special
>problems but also unique opportunities for reaching people with disabilities.
>Providing transcriptions, captions and descriptive video 
>synchronized with the
>media is a real challenge.  Podcasting and Vodcasting are becoming 
>widely used as a means for delivering course content and other 
>educational and business information. While these types  of media 
>are relatively easy to create, to ensure that all users have access 
>to  them, there is a need know how it can be done.
>
>This course will give step-by-step instruction in how and when to provide
>transcriptions and synchronized captions. It will also address Podcast and
>Vodcast basics and how to make them accessible. This course will be 
>good for web
>masters, information technologists, instructional technologists, disabled
>student staff, librarians and more.
