Online education and ADA

As the number of online courses increase, there is growing concern about the use of multimedia and the problems that this may cause for ADA students. http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/ada-compliance-a-major-vulnerability-for-online-programs/28136 Often there are not even formal policies. Higher education institutions do not realize that the law does pertain to online courses, but it does. A good introduction to the subject is the book "Making Online Teaching Accessible: Inclusive Course Design for Students with Disabilities" by Norman Coombs, published by Jossey-Bass. http://www.josseybass.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0470499044.html
