A lot of this sounds like there's an engineering solution that edX and Coursera can offer as a service. Course creators would have SOME work to do, but limited to uploading the charts and files used in their video.
From the DOJ letter:
> 1. Some videos did not have captions.
> 2a. many videos did not provide an alternative way to access images or visual information (e.g., graphs, charts, animations, or urls on slides)
> 2b. videos containing text sometimes had poor color contrast, which made the text unreadable for those with low vision
> 3. Many documents were inaccessible ... [HTML and PDF stuff]
> 4. Some links were not keyboard accessible
> 5. Websites and materials that were integrated into the course material were not fully accessible
Before we jump to debating the ADA, let's see if there's a sensible solution!
- mavhc 10y agoIf you're going to crowd source education, crowd source this. Ask people to correct computer generated captioning, annotate slides. 2b, 3, 4 should be fixed at the CMS level. 5 Can't you blame those website creators?
