Below you will find a list of links to an important topic you should consider while designing your WebCT course: accessibility. Generally speaking, you should remember to supply information in more than one format: if you are using audio, make sure you include a rendition in text form, and if you are using images, make sure you include a textual explanation of the images for students who cannot see the images.
