Accessibility Online

Shared by Michael Arnold, eLearning Director at Bellingham Technical College:

The eLC Accessibility Work Group would like to share some valuable resources with you.  We invite you to view the two highlighted videos below, as they tell the story of access from those who need it most.  Bear in mind, however, that accessibility benefits all students which is our ultimate goal via universal design principles.
