Accessible Information Solutions have developed a “Web Accessibility Toolbar” Very useful! I was pointed to this at the HEA conference – and, though it has a slight drawback in that it’s designed for IE, and not firefox, it is useful – and should hopefully make it easier for students to check accessibility of their sites….

Working Smart: PowerPoints Presenter View This looks useful – I’ve tested it on the Tablet – with Office XP 2003, wonder if it will work in the classrooms with Office 2K?…
