At least 4 years. But, it was never directly attached to a course or to a research project. It became more of a passion project that I would tinker with when I had time.<\/p>\n<p>Too often we end up being siloed and by ourselves, and we end up using our precious time and energy to re-invent the wheel. We&#8217;re hoping that this site helps you not have to do that when it comes to accessibility for online and face-to-face courses. Cause even so many of our face-to-face courses rely on online components through our learning management systems or course websites.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"http:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/accessibility\/credits\/\">credits page<\/a> makes clear, we did try to integrate it into a couple of courses when I was at the University of Cincinnati, but for a host of reasons, we got a lot of content, but no structure that really worked.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I met Sherena Huntsman, who is as interested in making courses accessible as I am. She took on this project and made it into what you see today. She created the information architecture, re-organized and streamlined materials, added content on teaching, and a host of other things. In short, she made this big idea in my head more of a reality.<\/p>\n<p>We are committed to keeping the site updated and adding more information to it. We would truly like for it to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Community_of_practicehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Community_of_practice\">community of practice.<\/a> So you can <a href=\"http:\/\/writeprofessionally.org\/accessibility\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a> to submit information or ideas. Or write a blog or contribute to the larger conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Lisa Melon\u00e7on I&#8217;ve been wanting to build this site for awhile.
