ACCESSIBLE MATERIALS
Accessibility = the extent to which people can derive functionality from a product or the ease of convenience of the product.

Usability = extent to which a product can be used for effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction.

Universal Design = extent to which products are designed to provide access to all people. (from accessibledocs.wikispaces.com/Accessibility+-Why)

Alternative Materials in my Blackboard
Syllabus and Class Announcements What I write:

" Alternative Accessibility to Course Materials Any candidate enrolled in this course with a documented disability should contact the Office of Student Disability Services at 803-777-6742 (TDD) or 803-777-6744 to make arrangements for alternative forms of course materials and other classroom accommodations prior to the first class meeting. For more information about the services offered by Student Disabilities Services, please see their web site at http://www.sa.sc.edu/sds/"

What I do: Alternative Materials area in the class site, only available to those who need it, using the Adaptive Release feature in Blackboard
