Minutes

The group decided to not discuss the Syllabus and Instructor pages – and instead encouraged Desire2Learn to create generic content.

Sherry from Northland College joined the call… welcome!

Kyle and Ken will have a poster at Educause.

• Their poster will have examples from the Desire2Learn Learning Environment.
• Hadi encouraged Kyle and Ken to promote CANect website project1.canect.org
• They plan to promote tools for checking accessibility
• They plan to demonstrate things that are accessible and aren’t accessible

Consortium members encouraged Desire2Learn to create materials to demonstrate accessibility features. Ideally they’d like this in time for Educause.

Sheri is doing presentation at Educause – could upload to community

Hadi encouraged everyone to go to Accessing Higher Ground – which is immediately following Educause.
