<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">We use AIM along side Google Drive, to track and distribute Alt formats. I am a huge proponent of AIM for many reasons. We were using an AIM/Dropbox combo in the recent past, but being a Google school made the switch to Drive pretty easy. There are a few random little hitches with Drive sharing and Read and Write but the work around is easy. IE the files are "owned" by DS when directly shared through AIM which renders the annotation tools on the student side in operative. If you download the file and the student re-uploads it to their Drive, ownership permissions change on that copy and the annotation tools are usable again. Most students seem to want TTS/reading and are not concerned with digital annotation so its not really a big deal.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small">Best,</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Sep 18, 2019 at 8:46 AM Michele Bromley <<a href="mailto:michele.bromley@pdx.edu">michele.bromley@pdx.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small">The Disability Resource Center at PSU uses <a href="https://www.accessiblelearning.com/" target="_blank">AIM</a>, which has worked really well for tracking alternative format production.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail-m_-3942156862098821894gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">Michele Joy Bromley</font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">IT Accessibility Coordinator</font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1"><a href="https://www.pdx.edu/oit/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">Office of Information Technology (OIT)</span></a><br></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font color="#000000" face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1"><a href="http://www.pdx.edu/" target="_blank">Portland State University (PSU)</a></font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><a href="http://www.pdx.edu/" target="_blank"><span style="color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1"><img alt="The Portland State University logo includes intertwined letters P, S, and U that represent the interconnectedness of the university to the city, region, and world." src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/lj1A5ZXvYbHV5IMKZjHJgTpMO6eYdmPuwao1NAaf7m9CCbbtiyc1LFKJt9Fwtx-LZ48zcev5cBsgHjr3zGNXxbnjayNMRZq4bsZeBUZ5mBVXtjGuOidT2uWDm8vL5u3uQyAYFqHN" width="165" height="35" style="border: none;"></font></span></a></p><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1"><br></font><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">Office: SMSU 18</font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">Phone: <span id="gmail-m_-3942156862098821894gc-number-384" class="gmail-m_-3942156862098821894gc-cs-link" title="Call with Google Voice">503-725-8395</span> </font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">Email: <a href="mailto:michele.bromley@pdx.edu" target="_blank">michele.bromley@pdx.edu</a></font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">Website: <a href="http://www.pdx.edu/accessibility" target="_blank">www.pdx.edu/accessibility</a></font></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1"><br></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.2;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"><font face="verdana, sans-serif" size="1">“The power of the Web is in its universality.

<p class="MsoNormal">Howdy all!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our office has used a home-grown web app to accept, track and fulfill alternative format requests from students. This app, designed in the mid-2000’s, has been a phenomenal asset to our process … but we’ve outgrown its capabilities and
there are no plans to expand the app in the future.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because we’re a Google campus, I’ve started using Google Drive to upload and distribute materials to students as we fulfill requests … but I’m curious what systems, apps or processes you all are using to accept requests for materials from
your students, and then track work being done to fulfill these request? I’m sure there’s a nifty project management solution out there … but this isn’t my realm, and I’m hoping someone can point me in a good direction.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Additional context: I have several team members working in our program. I also need a solution that works well with JAWS, as I’m totally blind and screen reader accessibility is imperative. I’ll ideally be able to have a form to let students
request their materials, a spreadsheet to track requests, the ability to make notes on individual requests as progress is made, and a way to quickly and easily communicate with the student requesting the materials to provide updates as we work to fulfill their
request.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Grateful for any input or advice you can share. Thanks all!<u></u><u></u></p>
