Hello Stephanie You might also be interested in the following resources: * Metadata for Accessibility Report: Identifies Metadata Issues Enabling Support for Accessibility and Multilingualism (Word Format - 770Kb) by CEN/ISSS MMI-DC (WI5), October 2004. This CEN Workshop Report summarizes the problems associated with multilingualism and the mismatch of content presented to users. * IMS ACCMD (AccessForAll Meta-data) Specification Version 1.0 - http://www.imsglobal.org/accessibility/index.html#accmd This specification defines the meta-data that can be used to describe a learning resource's accessibility and its ability to match a learner's preferences. See also Briefing: IMS AccessForAll Meta-data (ACCMD) Specification - http://www.cetis.ac.uk/members/accessibility/links/dag/documents/accmdbrief ing (which gives an overview of the ACCMD Specification). * IMS ACCLIP (Accessibility for Learner Information Package) Specification Version 1.0 - http://www.imsglobal.org/accessibility/index.html#acclip This specification allows preferences for content, display, and interface control to be recorded and described for all users, so that learning materials can be easily accessed from any location (e.g. school, home, office, library or while using mobile devices) in the way that the user requires regardless of physical, environmental or hardware limitations. See also Briefing: IMS Accessibility for LIP (ACCLIP) Specification - http://www.cetis.ac.uk/members/accessibility/links/dag/documents/acclipbrie fing (which gives an overview of the ACCLIP Specification). If both the ACCMD and ACCLIP Specifications are used together, content can be presented which matches a student's needs and preferences. Hope this helps.
