NCAM guidelines for making science and maths accessible
Have you ever experienced difficulties creating alternative versions of science and maths equations? Help is at hand, using the practices of the US National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM).
The Carl and Ruth Shapiro Family National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) (external link) is a research and development facility dedicated to the issues of media and information technology for people with disabilities in their homes, schools, workplaces, and communities.
NCAM's mission is: to expand access to present and future media for people with disabilities; to explore how existing access technologies may benefit other populations; to represent its constituents in industry, policy and legislative circles; and to provide access to educational and media technologies for special needs students.
One of the projects that NCAM has been working toward is providing guidelines for creating accessible versions of scientific and mathematical content within Digital Talking Books.
