Accessibility
The increasing digitization of rhetoric and pedagogy offers a wealth of resources that contribute to the inclusion of traditionally marginalized groups. Improving technologies, and their democratization, present us with infinite ways in which we can celebrate and bridge difference - maintain our individuality and share in a broad sense of community. As a result, it is seen almost as an ethical imperative for everyone to help encourage this type of accessibility wherever they can. John Slatin saw and enumerated the complications and obligations involved in these digital changes in his 2002 article, “The Imagination Gap: Making Web-based Instructional Resources Accessible to Students and Colleagues with Disabilities.” Though hardware and software have greatly changed in the time between then and now, questions of accessibility remain virtually the same.
