Principle 1. Equitable Use Multiple alternate file formats, visual and auditory in delivery format Accessible to assistive and mobile technologies Principle 4. Perceptible Information HTML with headings for structure, row and column headings for tables HTML with external CSS (custom stylesheets) - Increased functionality Principle 6. Low Physical Effort Table of contents with multiple HTML pages with headings Examples of UDI in Online and Blended Courses Features of LecShare Pro that Apply Universal Design for Instruction Principles

Web Site (HTML) Most accessible choice of the available formats (xHTML with external CSS) meets Section 508 accessibility requirements without coding Zip option for packaging, sharing via , or placing into course management systems Final output may include table of contents, audio player controls, lecture notes, invisible skip to content link, and hyperlinks within the presentation Multiple ways to view content – full view, view all slides, access keys Works most reliably across browsers, platforms, and mobile devices Review of Content Delivery Formats (1)

IMS Content Package Standard way to package a set of resources (typically web pages) that can be deployed in various learning/content management systems including Blackboard, Desire to Learn, Moodle, Sakai, and others IMS Content Packages utilize the learning/content management system's native navigation controls to allow users to traverse the files Final output meets Section 508 accessibility requirements and conforms to WCAG 1.0, Priority 1 and 2 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) Review of Content Delivery Formats (2)

Microsoft Word Document May be used for handouts, taking notes with, or as a visual aide The Word document itself is not accessible, for accessibility purposes use the accessible HTML format Image size and JPEG compression may be adjusted as an option Lecture notes may be included as an option Review of Content Delivery Formats (3)

QuickTime Movie QuickTime movies produced are relatively small, audio is saved in the MPEG-4 format and the slides as a picture track Table of contents, based on slide titles, may be included which allows users to instantly jump to any slide in the movie Quick captions and SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) are options for this video format Video and audio quality may also be adjusted to optimize the file size Review of Content Delivery Formats (4)

MPEG-4 (Video Podcast) Compatible with many portable video players (iPod Touch, iPad, Android tablets) and may be used for uploading presentations as video podcasts to iTunesU or blogs with RSS feeds Video and audio quality may be adjusted for optimization purposes Additional options for exporting captions in MPEG-4 videos: SMIL, Squeeze, Overlay, Below Note: The MPEG-4 Format does not meet 508 accessibility requirements Review of Content Delivery Formats (5)

LecShare Pro application is an inexpensive and intuitive way to ensure instructional delivery of content that meets accessibility standards LecShare Pro has features that inherently apply universal design principles LecShare Pro allows you to provide multiple file formats for various users to choose from to meet their learning needs Review of Objectives
