Firm makes course accessible From: Federal Computer Week - December 3, 2001 - page 26 E-learning company SkillSoft Corp. said 373 of its business skills course now can be taken by people who are blind, deaf, or have other disabilities. Dozens of federal agencies offer the company's courses, including the Navy, the Labor Department, and the CIA, said Vince Penkala, SkillSoft's federal business development manager. The courses, which average less than 3 hours in length, teach skills to help workers advance in their jobs, Penkala said. But until recently, the courses were not accessible by government employees who rely on screen readers and other assistive technology. http://www.skillsoft.com/ http://www.skillsoft.com/news/press_releases/ss_508comp.html
