Jane Bozarth on Accessibility in Elearning

Elearning thought leader Jane Bozarth’s article “But It’s to Code”: Thoughts on Accessibility in E-Learning drives home the point that we shouldn’t be building accessible to just meet code and protect against litigation but to enable real folks to access and use the elearning.
