Julie K Balassa Valencia College November 2011

  Alternate formats so woven into the fabric of the learning experience that they disappear as a separate entity Vision

  Alternate Format Services offers premier technologies that support students in the achievement of learning, personal, and professional goals by seamless inclusion in every aspect of the learning community without distinction from their peers. Mission

  Books on tape  Standard  Good enough? Better than nothing?  Navigation?  New bar  Cal State Fullerton  FSU  Penn State  You? Where we came from

  Navigable?  Usable?  Legal? Is one huge PM3 good enough?

  Navigable?  Usable?  Legal? Is a publisher file good enough?

  Much bigger than just breaking the law  Violating the Civil Rights of a human being Disability law is Civil Rights law

  Microsoft Word  OCR software  DAISY production software  Large Print production software  MP3 production software  Adobe Acrobat Pro  Math production software  you What goes in the toolkit?

  Valencia College decided on  Dolphin Publisher  Dolphin Producer  Dolphin Easy Converter  Duxbury  Infty  Scientific Notebook But what brands should I use?

 1-In-5-Out  In  Microsoft Word documents  EPUB files (open or unprotected files)  PDFs  HTML  Text  Scanned paper documents  NIMAS  DAISY XML  Rich Text Format  Kurzweil project files  Image files

 1-In-5-Out  Out  DAISY digital talking books  MP3 audio  Large Print  Braille  Text

  Stay tuned for the magic…well not really  Easy Converter is not a magic wand  You can’t feed roadkill into a grinder & get steak tartare  You can’t feed an unstructured or badly structured file into EC and get an accessible alt format (if you don’t edit in the 2 nd stage)  That’s why you belong in the toolkit! Summary
