The document discusses the upcoming legal requirements for educational courses and websites to be accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508. It highlights common misunderstandings organizations have in thinking their courses are compliant when they are not. The key is for courses to be both technically accessible and usable for those with disabilities. A case study shows how building accessibility into the design of an eLearning platform leads to courses that are both compliant and usable at a lower cost and effort than traditional methods.
