True or False: Professor Robinson's accessibility issues were only issues for students with visual impairments and would not affect the majority of non-disabled students.
FALSE: Even though Simon was the catalyst, every issue brought forth by Simon was NOT directly related to this disability. File format issues are not blind specific. Neither are forms issues or PDF issues. It is very likely that students without disabilities have had issues with Professor Robinson's online course materials but were able to work around them.
True or False: Traditional classroom courses are generally not affected by web accessibility issues.
FALSE: As the illustration shows, even "traditional" curricula generally have some component on the web, even if it is just a syllabus. Web accessibility issues affect all instructors.
