Article by history professor, Christina Ghanbarpour.
From her article: "This post provides a checklist of basic guidelines and tools to online history instructors with an eye towards the types of program and documents that we are most likely to use. That means pretty much everything, but in particular, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files.(General guidelines for web accessibility are available from the Web Accessibility Initiative.) The checklist addresses some of the most common physical and learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, visual impairment, and color blindness, as well as the preexisting software used to address these impairments, such as screen readers. Though by no means an exhaustive list, these guidelines will be applicable to the range of materials used by most faculty; a list of websites that help with problems beyond the scope of this document can be found at the end of the post."
