The main purpose of the project is the development of a distance learning module with regard to national diversity at a European level in the field of accessible web design. It will be summed up to a Europe wide unique academic training programme and will itself be designed in an accessible way to enable access by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities. One further goal is the accreditation and implementation of the module at European partner universities. Evidence has shown that there is a growing need for the creation and maintenance of web sites at European and national level which are truly accessible and in conformance with agreed and emerging international standards. The target groups should be trained in both the requirements for and the techniques to achieve fully accessible websites.
