[|508 Web Standards Compliance and Universal Design]**--Added by Alice Hartzog** This is a really interesting web presentation on 508 compliance and universal design; it's pretty much a summary on 508 issues and UDL, but in an easy reference-style format. I would use this just as a quick reference when I need a refresher on some of the 508 and UDL concepts.
