Acknowledgement:
I owe a great number of these links and the topic headings to the book
"Design and Implementation of Web-Enabled Teaching Tools"
by Mary Hricko, Copyright 2003, Information Science Publishing. I adopted
the book's topic headings because they made sense, and I incorporated
my own research with the many links from the book. In addition, I also
verified the links in the book. In many cases, the links had changed.
Note:
I am not an accessibility expert, nor do I have disability that hinders
my access to electronic information. Accessibility is an entirely new
area for me, but one that is infinitely important. The resources listed
here are ones I have found helpful in my learning process. Please contact
me with resources to share or updates to this list.
