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.
