Audience - All

Meeting the increasing demand for e-text as an accessible text format
depends on sophisticated techniques for production and delivery based on
high speed duplex scanning. While many colleges are creating e-text for
students with print disabilities, many more are unaware of the process
and requirements of creating e-text.

Join us for this unique two-day institute on best practices in creating
electronic text and working with publishers of academic materials. The
presenters, who are proven experts in assistive technology, will address
the topic of e-text production and provision by teaching skills in the
use of e-text and best practices, exploring ways to work with publishers
regarding copyright and security issues, and providing "hands on"
training in the creation of e-text from print material using models
developed in a variety of programs around the country The two-day
training will address the needs of both administrators and practitioners
so the potential impact of the institute will be significant.

Building on the beginning training, this additional two day workshop

archival of content and advanced editing techniques.

This presentation will build upon the original content in the areas of
production management, material creation and management of materials
from other sources and providers. Participants in this two day workshop
will explore ways to work with publisher provided materials, and in the
hands on lab, the creation of e-text from digital materials using models
developed in a variety of programs around the country. The trainers
expectation is that participants will have participated in the first
