Abstract
Education is shifting from the real world classroom to a virtual Internet world where learning can occur at any time and any place. The development web sites and virtual learning environments ultimately fall to programmers who create the code, unfortunately many programmers have not been educated about the necessary steps that need to be taken to ensure the web sites they create are accessible to all learners, even those with disabilities. This project includes a review of literature on web accessibility and a collaborative web based training tutorial designed to educate programmers at the University of California, Irvine about web accessibility, its legal implications and methods to employ to ensure web sites created by the programmer are accessible for users with disabilities. The tutorial allows UC Irvine programmers to learn how to build accessible on ramps for individuals with disabilities to the information superhighway.
