From the Editor's Desk - September 2005

Welcome to the September issue of Wavelength.

Sweet September…so it is! It brings sweet tidings from the beautiful winter. It tells us that the scorching summer winds will not be here for another year. It makes us feel that the work-pressure is lifting, though so slightly. The coffee machine meetings, the plans for winter picnics, the fresh faces sans perspiration; all of these make us feel better, more energetic, and more hopeful for the future. It also brings out the best in us and makes us more helpful and less critical.

It is this hopeful and helpful Instructional Designer, this issue of Wavelength seeks to address. This month, the Mystery of the Month features “Accessibility – A Conceptual Framework.” The objective of this article is to simplify the concept of accessibility by generating a need for it. Most of us do not do justice to accessible design because we do not feel it. I think we should feel the need for making our content accessible before we even start our quest to understand it cerebrally. This article will also introduce this month’s serial – “Different Dimensions of Accessibility.”

Wavelength’s Instructional Design & Content Writing Certificate course continues to evoke great response and interest. The first IDCWC Course Group completed the course and received their certificates, on August 28, 2005.

The third Free Instructional Design Orientation (IDO) workshop by Wavelength is being held on September 11, 2005 (Sunday.) I am also happy to announce that the next Course Group shall begin classes on September 18, 2005.

Finally, I wish to thank all 500+ subscribers of Wavelength for being with us. Your continuous encouragement and support is what motivates Wavelength to bring the most relevant content for its readers. Please accept my thanks for supporting Wavelength’s endeavors.

Warm Regards,

Shafali R. Anand.
