Dr Chieko Asakawa,日本IBM研究機構的一位視障員工,與同事研發的無障礙瀏覽器 आ-Browser預計年底將問世,造福全世界估計有一億六千萬的視障朋友。

A-Browser的特殊設計在讓使用者可以只用鍵盤控制目前一般需要使用滑鼠控制的多媒體播放工具,包括:控制播放速度、聲音大小(分軌控制:包括主要音軌、附加說明音軌、螢幕閱讀器音軌)、讀取附加的說明音軌訊息。

無障礙數位學習平台 ATutor

網頁:無障礙數位學習平台 ATutor
屬性:數位學習平台、免費
作者:Adaptive Technology Resource Centre


簡介:

What is ATutor?

ATutor is an Open Source Web-based Learning Content Management System (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind। Administrators can install or update ATutor in minutes, develop custom templates to give ATutor a new look, and easily extend its functionality with feature modules. Educators can quickly assemble, package, and redistribute Web-based instructional content, easily retrieve and import prepackaged content, and conduct their courses online. Students learn in an adaptive learning environment.

Why ATutor?

ATutor is the first inclusive LCMS, complying with the W3C WCAG 1.0 accessibility specifications at the AA+ level, allowing access to all potential learners, instructors, and administrators, including those with disabilities who may be accessing the system using assistive technologies. Conformance with W3C XHTML 1.0 specifications ensures that ATutor is presented consistently in any standards compliant technology.


ATutor has also adopted the IMS/SCORM Content Packaging specifications, allowing content developers to create reusable content that can be swapped between different e-learning systems. Content created in other IMS or SCORM comformant systems can be imported into ATutor, and visa versa. ATutor also includes a SCORM 1.2 Runtime Environment (LMS RTE3) for playing and managing SCORM based Sharable Content Objects (SCOs).

ATutor's base in Open Source technology makes it a cost effective tool for both small and large organizations presenting their instructional materials on the Web, or delivering fully independent online courses. Comprehensive help is available through the documentation, through a number of support services, or through the public forums. Full language support is available through the ATutor Translation Site.

簡介:
Andrew Fernandez, known to his friends and peers as dez, started collecting these links in 2003 as a resource for co-workers and himself. Since then this page has been widely linked to and visited by designers, developers and others wanting to learn about web standards. Dez took a break in 2005 due to a demanding contract job, managing a company for an ongoing client. 2006 sees dez once again back online and looking to update this page – a lot has happened in a year. BTW if you are a Melbourne based small business or an individual looking for a marketing savvy communications professional please visit andrewfernandez.com

Karlen Communications Accessible eLearning Resources

屬性:廠商、資料庫
作者:資訊廠商
簡介:
This page is a compilation of resources for anyone involved at any level to create more accessible open learning, online learning, distance education, distance learning, or eLearning opportunities. Incorporating foundations of accessible and usable principles for digital environments or digitally based information helps all students and faculty learn more effectively. We can then truly choose our own learning styles and content will eventually become device and CIT [Computer Information Technology] independent.

You may also want to look at our web page of conference handouts. Some of the presentations done by Karen McCall are on universal instructional design and digital document access.

Although this isn't a complete list of resources, hopefully it provides you with a good starting point. If you have a good resource related to accessible distributed education, please send it to us!

There is a new report from the United Nations called "Right to Education Project " that is worth considering. It expands the horizon of accessibility.

There is a web site if you are interested in how someone with Retinitis Pigmentosa is viewing the world and your eLearning content. This is an inaccessible Flash movie on a web page that does not include basic W3C guidelines for accessibility so it is a really good learning tool for what not to do!
