Fielding
Graduate University Selects AccVerify
DS2 Cynthia Says to Ensure
Accessibility
Santa Barbara, CA
February 14, 2005 – Fielding Graduate
University, a non-profit (501-C3)
graduate school, has selected
AccVerify Cynthia Says Edition for its
accessibility validation solution.
Fielding Graduate University was
founded in March, 1974, in Santa
Barbara, California. The founders
envisioned a nationally recognized
graduate school, which would serve
mid-career professionals who wanted to
pursue an advanced degree but whose
educational and professional
objectives could not be met by
traditional institutions of higher
education. Fielding developed a
rigorous, supportive learning model
that today remains flexible,
adult-centered, self-directed,
task-oriented, and competence-based.
The New Fielding
Graduate University website was
created as part of a wider aim to
provide access to Information and
Communication Technology for all
members of the university. Through
this agreement, HiSoftware Company’s
Cynthia Says desktop software solution
will be utilized for evaluation of
Fielding Graduate University websites
and web based applications for
conformance to W3C Web Accessibility
Standards, and organizational content
quality standards.
The software provides feedback to
users in a reporting format that is
clear and easy to understand.
Accessibility issues are detected
within web sites from Web-based
applications, dynamic pages, or static
HTML pages. Users get an immediate
report of their web site
accessibility. The new release
provides users with an adjustable
workspace and dashboard reporting
cluster that moves where the user
needs it, adjusting to personal
preferences without losing sight of
needed functionality.
Through
implementation of HiSoftware’s
AccVerify Cynthia Says, Fielding
Graduate University Webmasters strive
to make their Web site accessible and
available to their entire community.
