By using CC licenses and tools to communicate broad reuse rights to the content, data, and educational materials they create, governments are stimulating economic growth, promoting citizen engagement, and increasing the transparency of government resources and services.

Intergovernmental Organizations Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) are also using CC to share research, data, and educational materials they produce. Learn More Additional resources

Versto er en betviler av alt som har med konspirasjonsteorier å gjøre. Men forstokkede holdninger i embets medfør vil man finne, tilsvarende som hos Versto. Sikringen av åpenhetsprosessen Verstos kommunikasjon med etterretningstjenesten og hans bidrag til å oppnå større åpenhet er sannsynligvis for det meste av det gode. I denne åpenhetsprosessen må folket også sikres kommentatorer som har en bedre kritisk evne til disse kreftene enn det Versto har. Men stadig nye grepstramminger burde ikke bli en vane, en stadig maktkamp, slik det ser ut til å være. Men nå skal all skitten fram. Konspirasjoner eksisterer Ja, konspirasjoner eksisterer.

WebAIM You are here: Home > Articles > Introduction to Web Accessibility Introduction Most people today can hardly conceive of life without the internet. Some have argued that no other single invention has been more revolutionary since Gutenberg's printing press in the 1400s. This introduction should help you understand how people with disabilities use the web, the frustrations they feel when they cannot access the web, and what you can do to make your sites more accessible. The Web Offers Unprecedented Opportunities The internet is one of the best things that has ever happened to people with disabilities. Most newspapers now publish their content online in a format that has the potential to be read by screen readers used by the blind. Similarly, people with motor disabilities who cannot pick up a newspaper or turn its pages can access online newspapers through their computer, using certain assistive technologies that adapt the computer interface to their own disabilities.

The most noticeable helpful feature of this site is how it is segmented into the support offered. There are sections for college capable high school students, teens with disabilities for an electronic community, high school graduates who continue to support DO-IT efforts, summer campers who have received technology and/or advocacy training from DO-IT scholars, staff or ambassadors, and DO-IT mentors who are college students, faculty, and professionals in a wide variety of career fields and DO-IT staff, interns and volunteers to coordinate programs, electronic communications, research, and dissemination. The Access section includes information for students on accessing college, an alliance for students in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, another alliance for students in computing careers, a center on accessible information technology in education, accessible distance learning and an alliance for accessing careers. by dbardwell Mar 22

Other helpful resources:In the Student Lounge I found College Preparation Resources for Students-how students with disabilities can prepare for postsecondary studies.Academic Resources for K-12 Educators- how K-12 educators can create inclusive environments that promote the success of college-bound students with disabilities.College Preparation Resources for Parents and Mentors - how to encourage and support college-bound young people with disabilities.This site has information and supports for both students with disabilities and the professionals who support them.

The biggest drawback of this site is its size. It does have a search field for only the site to assist with this obstacle. If I could change anything about this site it would be to have a video highlighting the features and resources on this site. by dbardwell Mar 22
