TecAccess
Link
TecAccess is a trusted, world-class provider of accessibility consulting solutions. We understand the unique needs of business and how to protect organizations by reducing its risks, while at the same time maximizing value and ROI based on crucial accessibility initiatives. Having led large multi-national clients over the past decade, TecAccess is positioned to help you target one of the fastest growing market segments, people with disabilities and baby boomers, while reducing the risks associated with not being fully accessible to this spiking consumer group. Our goal is to ensure that you are aware of -- and prepared for - mounting changes in accessibility and disability guidelines and mandates that impact your human resources, IT, business development teams, and risk management departments. For example, 2009 has already seen major accessibility changes that all businesses must now be prepared to address, such changes as WCAG 2.0, the pending Section 508 Refresh, the recent amendments to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the soon to be ratified UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which includes IT accessibility mandates. Our complete suite of services enables clients to exceed their goals by tapping into new markets, while becoming socially responsible corporate leaders. We look for long-term partnerships with leading organizations.

SIGOSSEE Project
Link
Special Interest Group in Open Source Software for Education in Europe (SIGOSSEE) has been established to investigate, inform, and advise the education community on the uses and benefits of Open Source Software and Open Content. Open Source is of growing interest to the education and training sectors for a number of reasons :
* Often specific versions of educational software will be required to reflect particular course content or pedagogical approaches.
* A loose "community" of educational institutes already exists which supports the exchange of ideas and concepts. Thus, the basis of an OSS community is already in place.
* In many cases, larger institutes already have the human resources capacity in-house to perform the necessary software and content modifications, testing and deployment.
* Educational institutes are under increasing pressure to find the lowest-cost solutions for effective learning provision.
* Learners can be involved in improving OSS software and content making it possible to take an approach which sees education as the process of supporting learners in joining a community of practice.
* More generally, the use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) in education provision is being recognised and explored.
However, despite much interest from the educational software community and from individual education institutes and providers, there is a lack of clear and unbiased advice and information over the advantages and disadvantages of OSS and how appropriate the adoption of OSS is for education and training and of policy advice and direction on the subject.
The SIG is supported by the European Commission sponsored SIGOSEE and JOIN! projects, whose partners will form a steering group for the SIG in its initial period.
