[Athen] Physical delivery of alt media, is it a legal requirement?

[Dan Comden]

I think the answer to the question in the subject line is a qualified "yes"

Digital content, however, has a wide variety of delivery methods. Physical
media is not required, although I'm sure we could all come up with
scenarios where the answer is not so simple.

We've been working on a plan to continue to provide physical braille and
tactile graphics at the UW when requested.
