Hi Jon,
Thanks for the feedback, I'm pleased you found the post useful.
It's a really good point that you make about the issue of accessibility. Like Jude, we'd be really interested to hear from folks who have suggestions about how public service organisations like Kew could do better in this area. If it's done effectively, improving the accessibility of online rich media, like slide shows and video, can also help to boost SEO.
Double bubble.
Best,
Claire

Hi Jon,
I totally agree with you and at this event which we organised that came up
in conversation. The answer in the end was simply time/resources in the
end and I'm not sure if that's the best response. I am absolutely certain if you've got ideas/thoughts that Paul would be more than happy to discuss these with you. He's really open to idea although as the main slideshow producer he's completely flat out!

This audio work looks great - and the Beeb's lead is really inspiring too. I do wonder, however, if there's a way to add subtitles to these slideshows? I did one or two for Disability Arts Online [using Flickr slideshow] and quickly realised that web users with hearing impairments [like me] couldn't access the audio content via transcripts as easily as we can via old-tech web pages. Anyone got any ideas?

Subject: Kew's Digital Adventures - Top hints and tips for making great audio slide shows for the web
Hi everyone,
I posted a new blog post today on Digital Adventures, covering top hints and tips for making great audio slide shows for the web.
http://digitaladventures.wordpress.com/
As the Digital Team at Kew endeavour to produce more video and slide shows for the web in house, I decided to attend free knowledge sharing workshop about making audio slideshows.
The event took the format of a Q&A session with journalist Paul Kerley, the BBCs online audio slide show guru. Paul was really open in sharing the knowledge and skills that he's acquired over the years. So, for those of you out there like me, who are just starting out in audio/video production for the web, you might find this post useful.
