However, it seems to me that most live broadcasts can be adequately audio-described by the presenters themselves. For example, a presenter should always verbalize the contents of a chart or graph to which he/she is pointing. What's more, isn't this simply good presentation practice--to address the various learning styles of all audience members? So, in short, perhaps this is more of a challenge to educate trainers about why best practice is important for everyone, rather than an issue of technological barriers and challenges. Jennifer
