Web
Accessibility Strategies
The
Washington State University Web Accessibility Strategies have been
established as a part of Washington State University's commitment
and obligation (see Appendix A) to
assist people with disabilities to receive reasonable accommodations
in academic and non-academic programs in order to provide them an
equal opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of student
life at WSU.
The
strategies are also intended to increase awareness of issues and
abilities of people with disabilities among WSU students, faculty
and staff. WSU is considered a national leader in the use of technology
to enhance teaching and learning.
How
do I get examples of web strategies?
The
World Wide Consortium (W3C) has established three priority levels
for Web accessibility, each level containing checkpoints. Creators
of Web pages at Washington State University should satisfy priority
level one checkpoints for highest level and critical Web pages.
Web creators are encouraged to make use of priority level two and
three checkpoints at the W3C site at http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10/checkpoint-list.html
How
do I know if my web page is accessible?
What
