John M. Slatin, Ph.D., is the founding Director of the Institute for Technology and Learning (ITAL) at the University of Texas at Austin. Slatin, who is visually impaired, has been involved with accessibility issues since 1985, when he received a grant to develop software for visually impaired students in the university's first computer-based writing class.

As director of ITAL, Slatin is committed to developing pedagogically effective, aesthetically rich, intellectually exciting learning experiences that challenge all learners to the full extent of their abilities. The combination of visual appeal and accessibility in ITAL's "TX2K: The Texas 2000 Living Museum" earned first place for extraordinary Web design in Project EASI's 2000 Web Design Contest. In November 2000, ITAL launched its AccessFirst initiative, a comprehensive program of research, development, and outreach dedicated to excellence in accessible design. In April 2001, the AccessFirst Design and Usability Studio opened.

Slatin also has a strong record of service outside the university community. He has received a Distinguished Service Award from the City of Austin's Mayor's Committee on People with Disabilities for his work on the advisory board of AIR Austin, an annual event in which teams of professional Web developers and nonprofit organizations compete to produce Web sites that are accessible to people with disabilities. Slatin also chaired UT (University of Texas) Austin's Task Force on Accessible Electronic Information; the recommendations in the task force's 1999 report, "Information Anytime, Anywhere, for Anyone," are now being implemented. Currently Slatin serves on the Board of Directors of Access Arts Austin, an organization that works with groups throughout Texas and the United States to make cultural events and facilities accessible to people with disabilities.

Slatin's most recent publications are "The Distance in Distance Learning" (2000) and "The Art of ALT: Toward a More Accessible Web" (2001).
