When accessibility attacks 14 November, 2003
I was at a Jisc sponsered Managed Learning Event yesterday. During lunch I overheard someone talking about how they were wary of using streaming video because it’s not accessible and can cause problems for screen readers. Now streaming video is wide open to pedagogic abuse, but to not consider using it purely on accessibility grounds seems strange. When you consider the poor accessibility of many university campuses and the lack of access technology in lecture theatres it’s as if the person were saying ‘Well, we don’t give lectures because we don’t have an induction loop installed’.
