Is there anyone out there doing true 508 compliant eLearning (alt text for screen readers, complete keyboard navigation, etc)? To be perfectly honest, it seems like an incredible challenge to make complelling interactive content compliant. Any thoughts?

I think that this belongs into the category of "when all is said and done, there's a lot more said than done!"

Eric, I ran across a company that was doing 508 compliant development for the US government. email me at scase20@juno.com if you want thier contact information. It will take me a bit of time to dig up thier information again, but if you want it I would be hapy to do the looking. I think it was TechAccess.. but I will wait to hear fom you before I go through my files.. But what I saw seemed reasonable.. steve

Create your program as you normally would, and then have every single piece of information available in plain text. That allows hearing impaired to read the information and sight-impaired to scan it into a reader.

I wrote an article about Accesssibility and elearning, I think you will find it useful.
