Advice for faculty, from faculty with disabilities

In 2013, the Online Learning Consortium (formerly the Sloan Consortium) co-sponsored a webinar series on online accessibility with 3-Play Media. One of those webinars was a panel of faculty with disabilities who shared their experiences with accessibility.
