2. Do You Really Know Your
Students?
Over 4% of enrolled undergraduate and graduate
students nationwide have disabilities requiring
some sort of accommodation (U.S. Census
Bureau, 2006)
According to the National Center for Educational
Statistics, 95% of colleges and universities
surveyed reported that they used websites to
deliver distance education courses, yet only 18%
reported that they followed accessibility
guidelines to a major extent (Waits Lewis,
2003).
Given that navigating an online course can be
difficult for the average student, designing
courses with accessibility in mind really means
improving usability for all students.
