Following up on our conversation, I am looking for some exemplars of best practice for making educational content accessible. In particular, I am looking for exemplars that are demanding technically. Here, "technical" has two distinct meanings:<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">1) Non-standard accessibility implementation. Meaning, more than standard screen-reading support for HTML prose, alternate captions for static images, and transcript captioning of talking-head videos.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">2) Technical educational content, especially content that is heavy on mathematics displays, and ideally with sophisticated visual presentations of key concepts. So, content that aims to teach math, statistics, various engineering topics, or mathematically-oriented science. Especially if it seeks to be visually oriented rather than text/verbally oriented in its presentation.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I run the OpenDSA project (<a href="http://opendsa.org/" class="">opendsa.org</a>), and we are starting to think about accessibility issues for our content. This material is presented as HTML pages, with lots of code displays, slideshows of step-by-step dynamic process, and interactive exercises. With some amount of mathematical equations scattered throughout. So we are looking to see real examples of what might be possible to achieve.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks for any pointers that you can give!</div><div class=""> -- Cliff</div><div class=""><br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>-- <br class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Cliff Shaffer<span style="font-size:12.8px" class=""> </span><span style="font-size:12.8px" class=""> </span></div><div class="">Professor and Associate Department Head for Graduate Studies<br class="">Department of Computer Science <span style="font-size:12.8px" class=""> Phone: (540) 231-4354</span><br class="">Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061 WWW: <a href="http://www.cs.vt.edu/~shaffer" target="_blank" class="">www.cs.vt.edu/~shaffer</a><br class=""></div></div></div></div></div>
