Legal Perspective: Q&A with Daniel F. Goldstein
Betts, Kristen
Journal of Asynchronous Learning Networks, v17 n3 p103-106 Oct 2013
For students with disabilities to have the same opportunities to succeed as their nondisabled peers, access to educational technology and digital content is critical. It is essential that higher education boards, administrators, faculty, and administrative staff understand why accessibility must be on the forefront of our educational programs, co-curricular initiatives, support services, and infrastructure for on-campus and online programs. This question and answer session with Daniel F. Goldstein, a partner and trial lawyer with Brown, Goldstein & Levy, provides a legal perspective on issues relating to accessibility and online learning.
