Hi While this is in Australia and too far away for me to attend, I thought the CD-ROM may be of use, though at the current A$ <-> $US exchange rate, they may pay you the A$20. To the Palm Pilot users: Does it do web browsing?... what's it like? thanks Bruce ---------------------- *********************************************************************** Where appropriate, please pass this information on to interested people within your organisation. *********************************************************************** Web Accessibility Information Day (WAI DAY) 22 September 1998 Do you know if your web site works on a Palm Pilot, WebTV or when a screen reader speaks it out to a person who is print disabled? Do you care? Why does it matter? On Web Accessibility Information Day (22 September 1998), the Sunrise Research Laboratory and the Disabilities Liaison Unit at RMIT will be launching the OZeWAI CD-ROM. The OZeWAI CD-ROM contains: + Liddy Nevile's presentation on universal accessibility and the benefits of universally accessible Web sites; + International guidelines for developing universally accessible Web sites; + Tutorials for using HTML 4 and CSS 2 to develop universally accessible Web sites; + Examples of what different Web sites look like in different browsing situations; and + Shareware to help you build and test your Web sites. It only takes one person per organisation to get the message and start the process of change. We think it might be the web master, the IT guy, the PR people or whoever is concerned that your organisation has a functional web site. You can get a copy of the OZeWAI CD-ROM in two ways: ** Make a Virtual Registration ** If you would like to receive a 'Show Bag' of information, including the OZeWAI CD-ROM, you may make a virtual registration at our web site. We will send you the CD-ROM, along with some other information contributed by interested parties. The cost of the CD-ROM is $20. ** Come to WAI DAY ** On Web Accessibility Information Day (WAI DAY), Liddy Nevile will be presenting information on why universal access is crucial to the success of your web site. Take an hour or two to see that there is a growing problem, that the tide can be stemmed easily, and that you can tell others about all this and help solve the problem. Please come to a one hour presentation promoting universal web access. After the presentation, you will be able to speak with the people who are working to solve the problem of universal access. The cost of attending is $20 and you will receive a free copy of the OZeWAI CD-ROM. ** Who ** Web designers, librarians, public relations people or whoever is concerned that the organisation has a functional web site. ** What ** A CD-ROM of information on designing universally accessible Web sites. A one hour seminar about building universally accessible web sites. ** When ** 22 September 1998 at: 9.00 am, 1.00 pm (Auslan sign interpreter available) or 3.30 pm. ** Where ** The Banquet Room at The Victoria Vista Hotel, 215 Little Collins Street, Melbourne (wheel chair access). ** Why ** Many web sites don't work on anything except a computer. If we keep building web sites this way, we will be missing out on the main market. ** Cost ** $20 to attend the day or to acquire the CD-ROM. ** Registration ** Prior registration available at http://www.srl.rmit.edu.au/wai/waiday.html. ** Contact ** Telephone: Desley Lamb (03) 9925 3024 or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED].
