Summary

Experiences and measurable impacts for universities who have deployed Sitecues for their websites and learning management systems.

Abstract

In this session, you will learn about the experiences of educational institutions which have deployed new web accessibility technology from Sitecues. Sitecues technology makes websites and learning management systems (LMS) easier for users to see, hear, and use. We will employ a case study format that goes deep into the motivations, experiences, and impacts of specific institutions who have deployed Sitecues. Our presentation will include customer testimonials and measurement of impacts.

We will cover a wide range of topics and address the following questions. What are the motivators for investing in this type of accessibility technology? What steps were involved in implementation, ranging from technology setup to employee training? What types of end users and use cases are being supported? What level of usage has been achieved, and how is the broader success of these projects being measured?
