Digital News Report – A settlement has been reached between four colleges that included the Amazon Kindle in pilot curriculum projects.
Pace University in New York, Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, and Reed College in Portland, Oregon agreed not to promote any electronic book reader unless it has been approved to be fully accessible for blind students.
The National Federation of the Blind (NFB) settled with Arizona State University (ASU) on Monday concerning e-Readers. “The National Federation of the Blind is pleased with this settlement, which we believe will help to ensure that new technologies create new opportunities for blind students rather than new barriers,” Marc Maurer, President of the National Federation of the Blind, said in a statement.
