| Hi guys, I hope this post finds you all well! This week’s post is a pretty exciting one – a great opportunity for university and community college professors involved in the field of accessibility, universal design and digital access. Please check out the information below to learn more about this fantastic opportunity from the National Federation of the Blind for potentially funding your work!
**********************************
Attention Post-Secondary IT Instructors: Apply for Accessibility Inclusion Fellowship Program Administered by the National Federation of the Blind under a Non-Visual Accessibility Initiative Grant from the State of Maryland Submit application by October 11, 2019. The Accessibility Inclusion Fellowship Program helps instructors begin to include accessibility concepts in at least one course offering in their institution with help from the nation’s blind. Your existing course does not need to have an accessibility component. The program consists of the following:
What’s at stake? Individuals with disabilities, including the blind, cannot live the lives they want without full and equal access to the information and technologies available to the rest of the public, including products, services and benefits available on the Web and mobile applications. Equal access to information which includes non-visual access needs to be incorporated in the education track. The National Federation of the Blind is committed to the development of innovative techniques for achieving nonvisual access to information through the design and development of accessible information and technology systems. Apply today! To apply for the 2020 Accessibility Inclusion Fellowship, please submit the following information by email to jerniganinstitute@nfb.org.
We look forward to the continued progress of equal access to information and technologies with your help. Together, we turn dreams into reality. ********************************************** Please check back next week for another informative or exciting post relating to AT, IT accessibility or universal design!
