<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">At the last meeting I think it was Deb that suggested coming up with a webinar calendar. I was hoping to get to that earlier in the year, but I failed. I'm looking for some folks to help A) suggest
topics and B) host/help schedule/prepare a webinar. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I've reached out to a guy at WebAIM to do a demo of the NCDAE GOALS
<a href="http://www.ncdae.org/goals/planningtool.php">Benchmark and Planning tool</a>. This is a free tool for teams (like accessibility workgroups) to determine where they're at in terms of bringing web accessibility into their practice. I'm a big fan of their
<a href="http://www.ncdae.org/goals/indicators.php">list of indicators</a> -- it's a great way to get a sense of what your institution should be doing to address web accessibility. So, that's one webinar that I want to get scheduled ASAP. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Ward and I are doing a presentation next week on procurement, we could probably do another version of that for another webinar. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Then... ? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I think a "policy show and tell" would be sort of cool... Some chance for a few schools to share what they've developed and answer questions about how and why they developed the policy as they did.
<b><i>Anyone willing to volunteer for this?</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">One thing we talked about at the last meeting was the challenge of getting this info to deans. Maybe we could do a webinar specifically for them? Would someone higher up want to run with that - I'm
not sure they'll listen to a lowly program admin. <b><i>Joe? Mark? and maybe someone from the colleges?</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">That would get us through the end of this year... but maybe in Spring we can develop a calendar for next year and get something published nice and far in advance. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
