[Dr. Joseph Lorenzo Hall]

This is truly amazing! Both the content and interaction, bravo, brava, bravx. I’ve completed modules 0 and 1, and I’m excited for what comes next. I encourage everyone, whether new or experienced with accessibility issues, to take this pilot course.

best, Joe

Subject: [Chapter-delegates] ISOC online course on Disability Leadership in Internet governance and digital rights

The ISOC Accessibility Standing Group is delighted to announce that the
first ISOC Disability Leadership Training in Internet Governance and
Digital Rights course will be open from 11th November, 2024 and run for
three weeks. This has been made possible with the support of the
Internet Society Foundation.

The course provides information to equip disability advocates, Internet
Governance (IG) practitioners, and trainers with the tools needed to
promote digital inclusion for persons with disabilities.

The objectives of this course are to:

-    Provide a thorough understanding of Internet governance policies,
organisations and real-life opportunities for participation
-    Serve as a resource to integrate accessibility and disability into
the broader Internet governance debate


The course is self-paced but will be facilitated by tutor calls at least
once per week. The first tutor call will be on 14th November so persons
need to have completed module 0 and 1 before the 14th.

To enrol, persons should first make sure they are a member of the
Internet Society at: https://www.internetsociety.org/become-a-member/
and then follow the link https://bit.ly/DLIGDR to the course.

The course is offered in a high and low bandwidth version that is the
standard practice for the Internet Society. The high bandwidth version
of this course has international sign interpretation of the video and
full transcripts. The low bandwidth version may at this stage better
suit screen reader users.

Please note that this is a pilot course. Feedback is welcomed on how to
improve the interface.
