Work cut out?

I was shown a reusable e-learning object that was created and of which a colleague was very critical. I'm not sure whether the colleague was critical about the same things. As far as I was concerned:
1. There were too many pages
2. The titles of the pages were too long AND ambiguous AND many began with the same phrase
3. There was a text equivalent. BUT if the stylesheet was used in the first place, then that would not have been necessary.

They were just the accessibility issues. The presentation does not do all of that person's hard work justice.

I said that my main role within the secondment was to create an e-learning object, but I can see that I could become involved in criticising others. But we are here to learn. It's not enough to let things go.

Hopefully the learning object that I am developing will help people realise that it is EASY to create accessible learning objects.

I'll have to get JAWS going again, to that it can read out some of the links.

I'm concluding that simple guidelines are needed. And some sort of awareness training.

Decisions...

The hardest part so far is deciding which of the three courses I would concentrate on for the Learning Object. I have decided to go with the Course Genie one because I have presented the basic course that I want to do several times. I also know the stages that need to be demonstrated. The extension that I would need to apply to the course is the use of a wiki, so I could put some time into this.

What I want to do first, before everyone disappears for a holiday, is to run at least one session, so I had better get the description for the course done. If the session is not so successful, I will call it a pilot and do another after review.

But I guess I review all of my sessions, no matter how informally. And I never run exactly the same session. But what I mean is that I reserve the right not to use any of my things but I may use the examples produced by the people attending the session.

Another test - Voice Email

Voice Email
It did go to the blog, but, in the "Click here to listen to your message" link, the email contained the address of the blog, making it no longer private. It also contained the source email address and the email of the cc as well as the bcc email. So much for bcc!
So I have:

• Downloaded and saved the .wav message on the computer

• Edited this blog message - removing the reference to the link

• Attempted to upload the .wav message - COULDN'T DO - it only accepts images!
