He is currently the Boys Soccer Associate Head Coach for his alma mater Mountlake Terrace. Cardin has been an Assistant and Goalkeeper Coach for FC Edmonds since 2014.

They then rattled off victories over Bellevue and Lane to reach the NWAC Championships at Starfire. Eventual champion Spokane knocked the Phins off in the semi final with a goal in the last minutes of extra time.

Are PDF Documents Accessible? – Accessibility Action Week Tip of the Day

April 26, 2016 by Leave a Comment

A common question we field in eLearning is regarding pdfs and accessibility. Many faculty use pdfs in their instructional materials in order to preserve formatting and prohibit editing. Can a pdf be read by a screen reader? The answer is yes, but it takes some work to structure the document such that a screen reader will be able to parse it in a meaningful way. Adobe and Microsoft have both written guides to help create pdfs that are properly “tagged” for screen reader accessibility.

If you want to learn more, join us for our Accessibility Training Sessions on campus this week!

Wednesday, April 27, 1:30-3:00pm Room 4214

“Digital Accessibility in Higher Ed: Risk Assessment, Responsibility and Benefits” with Dr. Janet Sedgley, University of Montana

It feels like a new buzz phrase – digital accessibility.  Those steeped in it, throw the term around daily.  Most others don’t find the term very accessible (aka approachable).  More individuals are starting to understand a little about how to create accessible Word documents and that web images require alt tags.  We have added more steps to our work processes. Why?

Let’s take a step back and get a general view of what’s happening with higher education and digital accessibility.  Is it truly an issue that needs our attention, how involved are each of us and what is higher education’s return on investment as far as digital accessibility.

This presentation is part of the T&L Conference but you are welcome to attend this session even if not registered for the full conference.  Please RSVP here so we have enough seats set up for you.

If you cannot attend an on campus training, please reach out to eLearning Services and we can set up individual sessions as needed.

Transit alert! Approximate two-week closure of the Alaskan Way Viaduct starts April 29

April 25, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Beginning Friday, April 29, the SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct will be closed for approximately two weeks as a precautionary measure while Bertha, the SR 99 tunneling machine, travels beneath the structure. The viaduct will be closed between the south end of the Battery Street Tunnel and the West Seattle Bridge. For the most up-to-date information, visit 99closure.org.

Make a travel plan and expect additional congestion throughout the region

This closure will disrupt local and regional traffic patterns. WSDOT is coordinating with other transportation agencies to keep people moving through a variety of measures, but is expecting the closure to increase traffic congestion regardless. We are asking travelers in Seattle and the surrounding region to plan ahead and consider adjusting their travel habits to help us keep people moving on highways and city streets. We recommend that you:

  • Allow plenty of extra travel time and expect rush hour congestion to start earlier and end later.
  • If possible, consider leaving early or delaying your trip to avoid traveling during peak times. Know before you go and check out the travel resources page so you can make informed travel choices during the closure.
  • Consider working from home if you can, to avoid commuting altogether.

Need help making a travel plan?
Take a look at this travel alternatives handout for a detailed list of resources and options for changing your commute.

Stay up-to-date
