Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The Web has great potential as the content on the Web can be presented in different formats to make information available to individuals with disabilities. However, the potential of the Web is still largely unrealized. Most of the students in the information systems program are unaware of accessibility issues. Few information systems departments have incorporated universal design and Web accessibility in their curriculum. The objective of the research is to examine WAI (Web accessibility initiative) guidelines for Web accessibility so as to incorporate Web accessibility in information systems curriculum
