Vol. 10, No. 1, 2002 Distance Learning Universal Design, Universal Access Sheryl Burgstahler University of Washington, USA sherylb@cac.washington.edu Abstract I proudly submitted my newly punched deck of cards to the computer operator in the sterile computer room at the University of Washington. The next day, I picked up my cards with a printout of the successful run of my first FORTRAN program. It worked! I was a math major. Computers solved math problems. Wasn't that enough? Not today. Together with networking and other advanced technologies, computers allow us to shop, participate in the community, learn about almost anything and communicate with friends and colleagues anywhere at anytime. We have yet to see a limit to the uses for these ubiquitous tools. ACCESS CHALLENGES FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES The rapid development of assistive technology makes it possible for individuals with a wide range of disabilities to gain access to computers, networking and telecommunications technologies and multi-media products (Closing the Gap, 2001). However, barriers to these technologies persist for people with some types of disabilities. The next few paragraphs provide examples of access challenges faced by students and instructors in distance learning courses. It is followed by a summary of legal issues, a discussion of principles of universal design, examples of strategies for making distance learning courses accessible to people with disabilities and a list of policy considerations. The content of this article can be used to help distance learning programs develop policies, guidelines and procedures for making their courses accessible to everyone.
