The paper explains the steps Sydney University Press took to improve the accessibility content for persons with disability. Conformance to accessibility guidelines, production of content in alternative formats, providing text alternatives for images are among the steps discussed.
Impact / Outcome
The Royal Institute for Blind and Deaf Children tested a couple of our EPUB files and provided us with invaluable feedback. Our EPUB files were technically good, but we were missing a crucial step—adding accessibility metadata. This was easily rectified. We also learned that our EPUB 3 files conformed to the level A success criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 specifications. And that we could do better.
