OVERVIEW

This hands-on course covers the process-based functionality of AccMonitor. Students completing this 2-day course will be able to use Acc Monitor to develop and monitor the effective implementation of their organizational policies for Web content quality and accessibility. After successful completion of training, a student will be able to use AccMonitor to assist in identifying and explaining errors in web sites that are barriers to those with disabilities, and to identify content errors. Students will be able to offer solutions for making those web sites accessible and assure that sites are in compliance with organizational policies. This course is designed to train individuals to make the most effective use of this powerful tool to achieve and maintain accessible Web sites in compliance with:

• Section 508 and W3C WCAG Priority 1-3 accessibility guidelines

• Content Quality Guidelines

• Searchability

• Privacy / Section 208

• Metadata

• Custom Organizational Guidelines

Students completing this course will be able to use the solutions to meet the demands of both your business and technical constituencies, by allowing your organization’s experts and/or policy managers to define organizational policies and then provide a solution to validate compliance with these policies, so that you know exactly why your content has passed or failed. The AccMonitor environment will allow multiple users to work collaboratively on Web site accessibility-resulting in reductions in time and resources allocated to content quality and accessibility compliance. Extensive hands-on labs ensure that you leave the class with the skills necessary to create, enhance and manage the test and remediation process successfully.
