Web Content Accessibility

Geology10.com believes this site satisfies all Priority 1, 2, and 3 guidelines, for "AAA" compliance of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. In addition, Geology10.com satisfies Section 508, Subpart B, Subsection 1194.22, Guidelines A-P of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as revised in 1998.  As educators for the College of Alameda, we are strongly encouraged to make a commitment to improved accessibility for all students.

Between 17% and 19% of United States citizens have some level of disability. In fact, about 1 out of 5 Americans have some form of disability and 1 in 10 have a severe disability. These 1997 statistics by the U.S. Census Bureau also report that with the population aging and the likelihood that disabilities can increase with age, the growth in the number of people with disabilities is expected to accelerate in the coming decades. See Census Brief, December 1997.

Accessibiity information regarding the e-text for this course.

To promote effective education with the widest audience possible, the Accessibility Guidelines helped this site incorporate features such as:

• Keyboard navigation
• Alt. tags on all images
• An easy to read Site Map
• Alternate text for Java disabled visitors

The digital divide does not just affect people with disabilities. People without disabilities who have busy hands or eyes, poor lighting or noisy surroundings will find this site to be user-friendly. People with slow modems, older browsers, or those using alternate internet access devices (e.g., cellular telephones, personal digital assistants, etc.) will also benefit from the care that went into designing this course site. 

Students with disabilities, including learning disabilities, should contact me as soon as possible to discuss accommodating any special needs.
