==Mainstream and Assistive Technology==
== ICT Accessibility==


Lead Instructor: Christopher Lee


Lead Instructor: Carolyn Phillips
Accessible electronic Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are emerging requirements for  private, governmental and nonprofit entities. With Section 508, the 1998 amendment to the Rehabilitation Act, the United States Congress now requires that all Federal agencies make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. The purpose of this learning module is to identify and explain these technologies, and to discuss their origins and how they have developed. We will also explore the future possibilities of electronic information and communication accessibility and how these technologies impact individuals with disabilities and those entities which serve and employee them.


By the end of this module, you should be able to do the following:


<table cellpadding="5" summary="Mainstream and Assistive Technology" style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; width: 100%;">

ICT Accessibility

Lead Instructor: Christopher Lee

Accessible electronic Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are emerging requirements for private, governmental and nonprofit entities. With Section 508, the 1998 amendment to the Rehabilitation Act, the United States Congress now requires that all Federal agencies make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. The purpose of this learning module is to identify and explain these technologies, and to discuss their origins and how they have developed. We will also explore the future possibilities of electronic information and communication accessibility and how these technologies impact individuals with disabilities and those entities which serve and employee them.

By the end of this module, you should be able to do the following:

  • Learning Objectives
    • To explain the definition of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
    • To discuss the concept of "ICT Accessibility” as related to this course.
    • To formulate and interpret how the ICT has impacted individuals with disabilities.
    • To describe how ICT impacts private, governmental, and nonprofit entities.
