3. Chair Benkov Referral to IIT

Accessibility Policy from Bonnie Zimmerman - Rich Pickett will elaborate
Section 508 Assessibility Keven Jeffery requests clarification

I won't be attending our meeting today, but I had one concern regarding 
the Senate Policy File we are to review.

Secion 3.3 States:
Where reasonable, the University shall provide web-based course material 
that is accessible to all persons regardless of disability.

I just wanted some clarification as to what this meant. Does this mean 
the material won't be put online if it can't reasonably be made 
compliant, or does it mean that it won't be made compliant if it can't 
do so in a reasonable manner?

If it's the later I thought it might be at odds with the spirit of the 
Section 508 Standards.

Keven Jeffery, MLIS
Digital Technologies Librarian

6. Youtube Video "A Vision of Students Today" Michael Wesch KSU [Look closely please]

a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.
Web 2.0 ... Machine is Using Us
"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes. Web 2.0
This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in similar issues.
Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download
