  8. SMIL & SVG • Synchronised Multimedia • use for TV-like multimedia presentations • can synch auditory tracks and transcripts • MAGpie from WGBH is freehttp://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/magpie/index.html • Scaleable Vector Graphics • describes 2-dimensional graphics in XML • images scale, unlike GIF, JPG, PNG • text is text, not graphics • can consume bandwidth OZeWAI

  9. SMIL & SVG • Demonstrations • SVG • www.adobe.com/svg/demos/main.html • SMIL • ncam.wgbh.org/richmedia/showcase.html • realnetworks.com/resources/realoneplayer/demostutorials.html OZeWAI

  10. Flash • Issues • non-mouse access • audio • images and video • interactivity • player required • assistive technology access • Resources • Macromedia accessibility http://www.macromedia.com/macromedia/accessibility/features/flash/ OZeWAI

  11. Flash MX & Player 6 • Accessibility enhancements • Microsoft Active Accessibility • Reveals regular text to screen readers • JFW 4.5; WindowEyes 4.2 • Alt text and button names • Tab order and reading order is settable • Object grouping • Captioned video • Font and colour can be set • The Learning Federation requires high levels of accessibility for their Learning Objects OZeWAI

  12. Cataloguing Multimedia for Accessibility • W3C EARL • IMS Global • Dublin Core OZeWAI

  13. W3C EARL • Evaluation and Report Language • RDF based framework for recording, transferring and processing data about resources • A notation for recording and sharing evaluations http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/intro.html OZeWAI

  14. Dublin Core • DC.Accessibility • Looking for ways to use DC metadata to aid identifying accessible resources as part of resource discovery • DC metadata is very pervasive, especially within Government • DC 2002 – “digital libraries are there to make information accessible” hence accessibility is an issue for the DCMI community http://www.dublincore.org/groups/access OZeWAI

  15. IMS Global - Metadata • IEEE Learning Object Metadata (LOM) Draft Standard defines a set of meta-data elements that can be used to describe learning resources • IMS developed a representation of the meta-data in XML • Moving to convergence with DC • Working on accessibility elements http://www.imsglobal.org/metadata/index.cfm OZeWAI

  16. IMS Global - LIP • Learner Information Packaging • Includes accessibility information such as ‘learner preferences’, ‘language information’, ‘disability/accessibility information’ and ‘technical/physical preferences’ • XML based • Students will be able to select materials or modules according to their disability profile http://www.imsglobal.org/profiles/primer1.html OZeWAI

  17. IMS Global - Accessibility • Guidelines for developing accessible learning applications • Text, audio, images, multimedia • Asynchronous communication and collaboration tools • Synchronous communication and collaboration tools • Interfaces and interactive environments • Testing and assessment • Authoring tools http://www.imsglobal.org/accessibility/accv1p0/imsacc_guidev1p0.html OZeWAI

  18. The Learning Federation • Accessible multimedia learning objects • Metadata for resource discovery, including accessibility description • Student profiles, including disability and technology http://www.thelearningfederation.edu.au OZeWAI
