Panelist: Making Media Accessible in Educational Environments Wednesday, Jul 14, 2010: AHEAD Conference - Denver, Colorado Co-Presenter: Accessible Media Policies: A Canadian Model for Development, Implementation and Sustainability in Post- Secondary Institutions Comments (0) Accessible Media All media newly acquired by the Library is either closed captioned or permission to caption has been obtained. Currently 50% of the Library’s media collection is closed captioned. Closed captioned media displays the audio content as text on-screen in synchronization with dialogue, narration and sound effects. This feature provides equitable access to media by all students. In accordance with the regulations of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), all Divisions are required to adhere to accessibility standards and principles when designing, adopting and procuring educational materials and resources for the delivery of course curricula. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: E-books, course-packs, e-learning platforms, interactive and instructive online learning management systems, audio-visual and multi-media. The College has a Captioned Media and E-text Policy which stipulates that all media produced or purchased for instructional, informational or marketing purposes must be captioned

r permission to caption must be granted as a condition of
purchase. Divisions must allocate a budget for making resources

accessible, such as captioning audio-visual media. Faculty members may contact the Accessible Media Co-ordinator to review the media used in their curricula to determine if it is closed captioned, if a closed captioned version exists or if a suitable alternative is available. Assistance is available to all members of the College community using audio-visual resources for instructional purposes, college-wide events or websites to facilitate the closed captioning of the material. Comments (0) Books Universal Design Handbook, 2E - Wolfgang Preiser and Korydon H. Smith (2010) ISBN: 9780071629232 The book provides an overview of universal design premises and perspectives, and performance-based design criteria and guidelines. Public and private spaces, products, and technologies are covered, and current and emerging research and teaching are explored. This unique resource includes analyses of historical and contemporary universal design issues from seven different countries, as well as a look at future trends. Design Meets Disability - Graham Pullin (2009) ISBN: 9780262162555 Eyeglasses have been transformed from medical necessity to fashion accessory. This revolution has come about through embracing the design culture of the fashion industry. Why shouldn't design sensibilities also be applied to hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, and communication aids? In return, disability can provoke radical new directions in mainstream design.

SLIDE 14 Eight Tips for Making Your Course Content Accessible

1. Make textbook adoption decisions as early as possible (before

any established college deadline for textbook adoptions).

2. Request an electronic version and/or additional desk copy of

your textbooks. Use publishers who offer electronic copies.

3. Caption all videos used for instruction and provide transcripts

for audio-only materials.

4. Provide students with alternative methods to receive lecture

materials, including posting lecture notes online, providing transcripts, etc.

5. Be open to communicating with students about their learning

styles and using multiple instructional methods to address their needs.

6. Create or convert and post electronic course materials online in

accessible formats. Make materials available as soon as possible to facilitate student learning.

7. Provide "clean" copies of class handouts or use materials

already in electronic format, and make them available to students before the material is covered in class.

8. Use the campus course / learning management system to post

the syllabus and other important class information and course materials electronically. Source: http://ctfd.sfsu.edu/feature/eight-specific-steps-faculty-can- take-for-making-your-courses-accessible.htm
