Gregg asked: <blockquote> I would also suggest synchronizing WCAG guidelines with components of the IMS ACCLIP specifications. Anyone got any comments on this one? </blockquote> The closest we get to this is the following example from How to Meet 3.1.5: <blockquote cite="http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20-20051123/Overvie w.html#meaning-supplements"> 3. An e-learning application. An online course about Spanish cultural history includes a unit on Moorish architecture. The unit includes text written for students with different reading abilities. Photographs and drawings of buildings illustrate architectural concepts and styles. Graphic organizers are used to illustrate complex relationships, and an audio version using synthetic speech is available. The metadata for each version describes the academic level of the content and includes a readability score based on formulas developed for Spanish-language text. The learning application uses this metadata and metadata about the students to provide versions of instructional content that match the needs of individual students. </blockquote> I had the IMS Learner Information Profile in mind when I wrote this example, but didn't mention it by name; we could add it to the Resources section for 3.1.5 (I think I had included it in some draft for 3.1 last year).
