Should Online Course Design Meet Accessibility Standards? - Peter Paolucci, Educational Technology & Society

Pre-Discussion Paper Slip-Slidin' Away: The Importance of Standards and the Absence of a Definitive Standard For quite some time now, the Internet and its content have been developing in a haphazard way. This is not inherently a bad thing and perhaps it's even unavoidable, but it does have its problems. Web-based languages such as HTML, JavaScript, XHTML, XML, Perl, etc have been standardized into versions, but these standards shift over time because these languages are almost all very new and in many cases, current online content does not conform to them anyway as long as browsers continue to interpret bad or proprietary code in the way that designers want.
