[Commlist] CFP: Accessibility in Elit "Unconference"

Tue Dec 05 16:46:55 GMT 2023





*Join us at the ELO UnConference, Access Works on Jan 18-29, 2024!

*

This two-day virtual event focuses on informal interactive discussions and workshops aimed at finding ways to extend access to electronic literature for all.  An UnConference provides a relaxed atmosphere to delve into issues. This UnConference will be from 18 - 19 2024 with events across all time zones, so come and have fun when you are awake! Register now! tinyurl.com/ELOUnConReg <http://tinyurl.com/ELOUnConReg>--it will only take a minute!

Electronic literature uses games, images, videos, sounds, links, navigation, etc. as an essential part of the work. What can we do to make these works more accessible: financially, technologically, physically, internationally?  Get the details at https://dtc-wsuv.org/projects/access-works-conference <https://dtc-wsuv.org/projects/access-works-conference>.

We have a great lineup of talks and tours and workshops, including:
