Priority One: Web Accessibility

Web Administrators Meeting - August 3, 2007

The purpose of this meeting is to inform administrators of web servers and web applications of the requirements of the ATI, our proposed plan of implementation, and to discuss the implications.

A discussion of the new purchasing requirements that are coming about because of Priority 3 of the ATI and the new steps that will have to be undertaken.

Steve Miller will present the procedures E Learning Services currently employs to monitor the administrative web sites that are hosted on the www.csub.edu domain. View the procecures currently in place (Word document). He will also present the tasks needed to bring sites hosted on other servers into the testing and remediation process and what that plan will require of other server administrators.

Update

During the discussion the needs of ELS to bring other web servers under testing was brought up. Below is a list of the tasks that ELS asked web server administrators to perform:

  1. The admin will identify those who own a web site, who is the web master, and those who have ftp access to a site.
  2. Submit the URL of sites along with the appropriate list of people associated with those sites.
  3. ELS will perform regular automated tests of those sites and will provide the results of those tests to the web site owner, web master and any of the people who have ftp access that should need to recieve the report.
  4. In the event that we can not progress in the repair of a site, due to lack of response from the owner or web master ELS will request of the admin to redirect that site until such time that it has been repaired.

At this time the Accessible Technology Initiative timeline only calls for administrative web sites, ie department, school, and club sites. This will require that the list of those who have access to a site be updated as changes are made on the server.
