Looking for something to do Saturday morning, August 6? How about 
registering for my FLEAT 5 pre-conference workshop "Curb Cuts in the 
Digital Language Lab"? It's workshop #52 at 
http://ce.byu.edu/cw/fleat5/2005/pre-conf.dhtm

In the first hour of the workshop we'll discuss general accessibility 
issues, including research on the most common (and easiest to fix) 
accessibility errors and how they affect access for a variety of devices 
including handheld computers. In the last two hours we'll have a mix of 
demonstration and hands-on practice during which participants search for 
their institution's web accessibility policy (or adopt one on the fly), 
select one of their institution's web sites for testing, check pages on 
their chosen site using WAVE and Bobby (free online web accessibility 
checkers), and check them using Mozilla Firefox with Web Developer 
Extension and Opera Browser (also free). Time permitting, we'll look at how 
to activate Dreamweaver accessibility features and try a few easy 
techniques for fixing common accessibility errors.

I presented a session on web accessibility at IALLT 2003 in Ann Arbor and 
several participants indicated they would like a longer preconference 
workshop on this topic at the next IALLT conference. I didn't collect any 
names at the time, so this is the only I way I know to contact potential 
attendees.

Please let me know if you have any questions about what we're planning to 
do during the workshop.

Looking forward to seeing everyone in Provo!
