Welcome to the Web Accessibility Center

The Web Accessibility Center (WAC) has been established via collaboration between the Office for Disability Services, the College of Education and TELR in order to assist faculty in developing accessible distance education courses, as well as any on-line segments of OSU courses. Accessibility and universal web design accommodate students with learning and/or physical disabilities so that they can access these classes just like any other student.

The WAC has opened it's doors this Spring Quarter of 2000 and has begun assisting TELR Faculty with their on-line distance education courses. We plan to branch out to provide training in Web accessibility as well as technical assistance to all OSU Faculty and TA's for their course related materials on the Web. The WAC also plans to research and hopefully develop templates and add-ons that will assist faculty in making accessible web sites for their courses using current authoring tools (e.g. FrontPage, WebCT, etc.).

For more information or to set up a consultation, contact the WAC staff by e-mailing
webaccess@osu.edu or calling 292-1760
