Continuing Education Credits/Certificates

Great Lakes ADA Center is happy to announce a new benefit available to individuals participating in our online webinars and audio conferences. We are now offering University of Illinois continuing education units (UIC-CEUs) for professional development. A 90 minute session would be equivalent to 0.15 CEUs (10 contact hours = 1 CEU). The best news is we are able to offer these at NO CHARGE! Anyone registered and attends the full session is eligible. No partial credit will be granted and we will verify your participation.

February 14, 2012 » Making Tactile Graphics

Tactile graphics is one area where, in spite of all the changes and advances in the technology used to produce them, very little has been automated or even greatly simplified; yet they offer unique advantages. Clara van Gerven of the National Federation of the Blind will provide insight into the creation of tactile graphics, which graphics are most suitable for conversion into a tactile format and also give us a sneak peek at the state of 3-D printers.
