Sample Book"

Time:                    11:00 a.m Pacific (12:00 p.m. Mountain, 1:00 p.m.

The DIAGRAM Center's Content Working Group co-chairs, Elaine Ober (Pearson)
and Lucia Hasty (Rocky Mountain Braille Associates), will demonstrate this
free online resource that shows you what some of the many options are for
creating accessible versions of digital images such as maps, bar charts,
diagrams, mathematical expressions, photographs, and more. Each of the seven
chapters in the book shows a different complex image in context of the book
it came from, along with helpful tips and the code used to provide the
accessible image in a digital book. See (and hear!) the different ways that
an image can be made accessible, including: short and long descriptions,
tactile graphics, MathML, sonification, audio description, and 3D printing.
The presenters will discuss how this resource can be used as a guide when
creating accessible images in your own digital books and other digital
publications.

This webinar is free and open to all. Please forward this message to anyone
you think may be interested in attending. We are really excited to show
everyone this new resource!

Best wishes,
Julie
