Free Webinar: The DIAGRAM Center: Making Digital Images Accessible
This Webinar next Wednesday is timely and important. I heard these
presenters at CSUN last March, and for me it was the best Presentation I
attended. Take my word. It is timely and valuable and
entertaining.
The DIAGRAM Center: Making Digital Images Accessible
Presenters: Anh Bui and Fred Slone
Wednesday, August 8 at 11 AM Pacific, Noon Mountain, 1 PM Central
and 2 PM Eastern
With data visualization and image-heavy content becoming large parts of
today's information landscape, the DIAGRAM Center brings together the
leading minds in image accessibility to realize its mission of making it
easier, faster, and more cost effective to create and use accessible
images so that students with print disabilities have timely access to the
information they need.
This session will cover the free tools and standards that the DIAGRAM
Center, managed by Benetech and funded by OSEP, is developing. Poet,
DIAGRAM's free web-based tool for adding image descriptions to books,
will be demonstrated. We'll also see how Benetech's accessible digital
library Bookshare is using DIAGRAM's work to make image descriptions
available in the collection.
