As a staring point we will correct top level pages such as
Alumni & Friends and the Foundation's Give to HCC pieces
to meet the SEC 508 Standard §1194.22.
Each page of the site will be first checked for validation
using both the W3C HTML Markup Validation Service and
the W3C CSS Validator. Since these pages will likely be
coded in Text Pad or Dreamweaver, each page of the mini
site will be evaluated to be sure it complies with the 508
Standard §1194.22 (a-p). guidelines.

Action Plan #1 Evaluate LIFT Text Transcoder for purchase by Highland Community College Completed March 31, 2006
Action Plan #2 Correct all errors related to compliance with section 508. Began in April 2006 to be completed by July 1,
2006. These are samples and there are many more specific examples in the report.
Templates for the next version of the ICC web site are currently being constructed. These templates will attain WCAG
priority 1 and 2 checkpoints before being implemented. Our goal is to have the new templates completed by October 1,
2006 and have all static and dynamic content moved to this template by December 20, 2006.
The IECC website will be reviewed on a regular basis for accessibility. This will include review by Perkins and Marketing
committees. Review will take place using both human site interaction test as well as online evaluation tools. These efforts
will be used to identify areas of concern. The IECC site during the redesign has been developed with several primary
goals: New Look, Easy Navigation, Searchable New Information, and ADA Compliance.
