Creating Accessible Media Files
At the recent Accessing Higher Ground conference in Boulder, CO, Canadian consultant Karen McCall shared her expertise on best practices in creating accessible meda. She taught participants the steps involved in converting PDF files to accessible documents and the importance of first setting up accessible formats in Word files. In addition, the importance of a Daisy e-text standard is increasing (especially for students in higher education). As Karen noted, this digital format assures that digital document is created in multiple formats for all types of user needs.
