Brown Bag Session

Our first Brown Bag Session will be held February 5th from 1:00-2:30 PM in 100 North Hatcher.

You can register at our SiteMaker site,
http://sitemaker.umich.edu/webaccess/home

The first session is intended for our group and other interested participants - e.g., UM web folks who are already concerned about web accessibility. Topics (whatever we can get through in the time allotted) are as follows:

-Top 10 best practices
-Top 10 worst offenses
-Overview and comparison of the various standards
-The art of interpreting accessibility checker reports (this could allow us a chance to critique each other's sites)
-Automating the process of changing from table-based to CSS-based layouts
-Tools and strategies
-CTools/SiteMaker

At the Feb 5th meeting we will also identify working groups, sub groups, central funding or volunteer funding and share tools.
