About this Project

The goal of this project is to create an accessible ebook which can be used at no cost in university and college web design courses. The Saylor Foundation pays reimbursement of $20k for books that fit their course outlines. If compensation is received from such a source for the content of this book, it will be shared with the contributors based roughly on their amount of input into the book. However, be aware that there is no guaranty that any compensation will be forthcoming. The ultimate aim here is to create a free ebook in the area of Universal Design for Digital Media (focused primarily on Web Design). Due to the potential of additional compensation, please keep track of your contributions to this book.
