RE: Accessible eLearning

Hi,
 
On the digital publishing side of this topic, the work at idpf.org is most
relevant. The EPUB 3 Standard is based on the open web platform.
 
DAISY Consortium has received a Google Impact Challenge grant to develop a
baseline for accessible  digitally published materials, and of course we are
building on the work of WAI. We have also been asked to develop a mechanism
for certification. While we just kicked off the grant on February 24 & 25 at
the EPUB for Education summit, we have the rudaments of an informational
website at
http://www.inclusivepublishing.org
 
Oh, and you should check out epubtest.org where we are testing reading
systems for their accessibility and other things. We have our first reading
system from VitalSource that scorred 100% for fundamental accessibility.
 
Best
George

Hi Kristy,
We work to support this through a research project call FLOE. See:
http://floeproject.org 
We hope to run another accessibility sprint on this topic soon. See:
http://www.floeproject.org/accessibilitySprint2015.html 
 
Also take a look at Web Aim, CAST and the AHEAD conference:

I hope this helps,

Hi,
 
I’m trying to connect with anyone that has been working towards developing
eLearning that meets the WCAG 2.0 Level AA requirements. We are in the
process of trying to understand how they requirements apply to eLearning and
if people can share any lessons learned it would be greatly appreciated. 
 
Thanks,
Kristy Macintosh
