Are you interested in furthering your education via online courses? Do you have an interest in being able to put content online in formats accessible to users with disabilities? Do you believe that travel is really for everyone regardless of physical challenges? Well known and knowledgeable presenters will be on hand to answer these and many more questions. They include:
Jonathan Mosen, of Christchurch, New Brighton, New Zealand (Aotearoa), is well known to Internet radio listeners worldwide. Just over a year after he left his position as founder and Director of ACB Radio, Jonathan Mosen talks about the way Internet radio has evolved and his role as a pioneer in this field. He'll focus on what Internet radio means for blind people in particular, and where it is headed. He also discusses his own new Internet radio initiative, The Wave. Terrence Aselford will provide interesting comments about his life and work as a National Library Service Talking Book Narrator. Patricia A. Rucker, Ed.D., Peirce College Vice President, Academic Advancement & Chief Academic Officer, will show how Peirce College for 139 years has made it possible for many people, including the blind and visually impaired, to achieve their educational and career dreams. EASI (Equal Access to Software and Information) will discuss Putting Content Online in Formats Accessible to Users with Disabilities, demonstrate how to use simple software programs to prepare online multimedia, Word documents and PowerPoint presentations in formats fully accessible to users who require screen readers, screen magnification, voice recognition, onscreen keyboards and more in order to surf the Internet. Sue Corman Slater not only believes travel is for everyone but is devoting her life proving it. As a successful cruise agent, she has specialized in making group cruises accessible, easy and personally rewarding for the visually impaired. She will share travel tips and give an update of some really terrific cruises scheduled during the next few months.
