<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m not a lawyer and don’t play one in the movies either. But I’d guess that one would still need to make this content accessible. I’ve heard over the years that roughly a third of the prison population
may have learning disabilities which may have led them to some of their poor choices in life.
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If some of this population is using technology for those with dyslexia it would benefit from much of the structure called for to serve those using screen reading tech due to blindness of low vision. Ditto
with accessibility for those using speech recognition.</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Many of those with learning disabilities I worked with over the years might struggle to read content but could take it in by listening to the material read by text-to-speech technology. And they might also
have difficulty writing/typing in their output but might use a combination of speech recognition software and tools like WYNN to aid them in correcting the difference between “there”, “their” and “they’re.”
</span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Our goal as a society (I assume) is to have these people pay for their offenses by being separated from the general population for a time but also to learn how to reintegrate into society with new skills
to be honest, productive participants. They’d succeed in the latter by learning the skills including assistive technology when those were applicable.</span></p>

<p class="x_xmsonormal">Hi All,</p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal"> </p>
<p class="x_xmsonormal">Has anyone started looking at the new Digital Accessibility Standards for higher education? I am not confident that our current CANVAS courses meet the new standards – where is everyone in the evaluation process? It is my understanding
that we have until April 2026 to make everything compliant. I know that Peninsula is working on ensuring that all digital materials meet the new standards, but our offline classes and the classes on the OSN won’t be included in the review – at least not at
PC.</p>
