Guidelines for Accessible Information
What is accessible information?
● Accessible information is understood as information
provided in formats that allow every user and learner
to access content ‘on an equal basis with others’
(UNCRPD).
● Accessible information is ideally information that:
– allows all users and learners to easily orient
themselves within the content, and
– can be effectively perceived and understood by
different perception channels, such as using eyes
and/or ears and/or fingers
Why is accessibility of information
important?
All educational organisations must make their information
accessible for everyone. The UN Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities is a key driving force for
change in the area. The Convention emphasises:
● the obligation to ‘provide accessible information to
persons with disabilities’ (Art.4)
● the need for ‘the design, development, production and
distribution of accessible ICT’ (Art.9)
● the right to education ‘without discrimination and on
the basis of equal opportunity’ for persons with
disabilities (Art.24)
Why is accessibility of information
important?
● Everyone and every organisation or institution which
provides information for education must consider these
issues in differing ways within their work
● The ability to access relevant information for and about
education is a crucial prerequisite for learning. If
learners have restricted access to information, this
limits their learning opportunities. Stakeholders in the
field of lifelong learning must take steps to remove
barriers
● Fostering accessibility is our obligation and we should
all work towards becoming models of accessibility
The ICT for Information Accessibility in
Learning (ICT4IAL) project
● Project activities ran between 2013 and 2015
● Building on the results of the Accessible Information
Provision for Lifelong Learning (i-access) project to
foster accessibility of information in learning
● Funded by the European Commission under the Lifelong
Learning Transversal Programme, Key Activity 3:
Information and Communication Technologies
Project partners
The ICT4IAL project is a multi-disciplinary network of
European and international partners that represent both
learning and ICT communities:
1. European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive
Education
2. DAISY
3. European Schoolnet
4. Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs
5. International Association of Universities
6. UNESCO
Project aims
● To raise awareness and increase the visibility of the
issue of accessible information provision and its
relevance for equitable lifelong learning opportunities
● To support accessible information provision within
organisations through the development, trialling and
evaluation of guidelines that build upon already existing
work in the field.
Project objectives
1. Knowledge exchange and networking
2. Developing and trialing of practical guidelines
3. Reflection and evaluation upon implementation
4. Validation of guidelines
5. Dissemination and exploitation of results (see report)
The Guidelines for Accessible
Information
● Available in html format and for download in 25
languages (.doc, .pdf formats) at
www.ict4ial.eu/guidelines-accessible-information
● An open educational resource (OER)
● Aim to support the creation of accessible information in
general and for learning in particular
● Summarise and link to existing and useful resources
which can be helpful for non-ICT experts
The aim of the Guidelines
● To support the work of practitioners and organisations
working in the field of education to provide accessible
information to all learners who require and will benefit
from more accessible information. This includes
information providers such as:
– school staff & university staff
– librarians
– communication officers
– publishers
– support groups and non-governmental organisations
● To support all individuals and organisations who want
to provide information that is accessible in different
formats
The scope of the Guidelines
● The general steps to achieve accessible information are
universal. Therefore the Guidelines apply to information
in general and to information for learning in particular.
● The Guidelines aim to be content and context free, but
offer concrete examples of how they can be applied to
different learning situations.
● The use of assistive devices complements the practice
of providing accessible information.
How to use the Guidelines?
The Guidelines build on two steps for action:
● Step 1 describes how to create accessible information
via text, images, audio and video
● Step 2 considers how media can be made accessible –
for example, electronic documents, online sources or
printed material
These two steps build upon each other. By following the
Guidelines in Step 1 to make different types of
information accessible, Step 2 becomes easier as already
accessible information is available to be used within the
different media.
How to use the Guidelines?
For each step, the Guidelines provide:
● Recommendations on how different types of
information can be made accessible
● A list of resources available to support this process
categorised into:
– ‘easy’: actions which can be completed with a
general knowledge of common software programmes
– ‘advanced’: actions which can be completed with an
in-depth knowledge of common software
programmes, and
– ‘professional’ levels: actions which can be completed
with a more professional knowledge of software and
general knowledge of programming
Making your organisation’s information
accessible
● A report which builds on lessons learned during the
trialling of the Guidelines in three partner organisations
● It contains recommendations for organisations that
wish to provide accessible information in the education
sector in particular, but also more widely, as the
processes are universal
● It can be used in conjunction with the Guidelines
● Contains a model of how your organisation could take a
strategic approach to provide more accessible
information
● Available in 23 languages http://ict4ial.eu/download-
making-your-organisations-information-accessible-for-
all
Recommendations from the report
1. Include an accessibility statement in the organisation’s long
term strategy
2. Develop a strategy or plan for implementing accessible
information
3. Make someone responsible for implementing the information
accessibility plan and provide them with the required resources
4. Plan an incremental implementation – be ambitious and
modest at the same time
5. Embed accessibility into your information production and
dissemination processes
6. Provide information, education and training on accessibility
for all staff
7. When outsourcing information production, make sure
accessibility requirements are addressed and undergo a quality
check

Guidelines for Accessible Information

  • 2. What is accessible information? ● Accessible information is understood as information provided in formats that allow every user and learner to access content ‘on an equal basis with others’ (UNCRPD). ● Accessible information is ideally information that: – allows all users and learners to easily orient themselves within the content, and – can be effectively perceived and understood by different perception channels, such as using eyes and/or ears and/or fingers
  • 3. Why is accessibility of information important? All educational organisations must make their information accessible for everyone. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is a key driving force for change in the area. The Convention emphasises: ● the obligation to ‘provide accessible information to persons with disabilities’ (Art.4) ● the need for ‘the design, development, production and distribution of accessible ICT’ (Art.9) ● the right to education ‘without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunity’ for persons with disabilities (Art.24)
  • 4. Why is accessibility of information important? ● Everyone and every organisation or institution which provides information for education must consider these issues in differing ways within their work ● The ability to access relevant information for and about education is a crucial prerequisite for learning. If learners have restricted access to information, this limits their learning opportunities. Stakeholders in the field of lifelong learning must take steps to remove barriers ● Fostering accessibility is our obligation and we should all work towards becoming models of accessibility
  • 5. The ICT for Information Accessibility in Learning (ICT4IAL) project ● Project activities ran between 2013 and 2015 ● Building on the results of the Accessible Information Provision for Lifelong Learning (i-access) project to foster accessibility of information in learning ● Funded by the European Commission under the Lifelong Learning Transversal Programme, Key Activity 3: Information and Communication Technologies
  • 6. Project partners The ICT4IAL project is a multi-disciplinary network of European and international partners that represent both learning and ICT communities: 1. European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education 2. DAISY 3. European Schoolnet 4. Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs 5. International Association of Universities 6. UNESCO
  • 7. Project aims ● To raise awareness and increase the visibility of the issue of accessible information provision and its relevance for equitable lifelong learning opportunities ● To support accessible information provision within organisations through the development, trialling and evaluation of guidelines that build upon already existing work in the field.
  • 8. Project objectives 1. Knowledge exchange and networking 2. Developing and trialing of practical guidelines 3. Reflection and evaluation upon implementation 4. Validation of guidelines 5. Dissemination and exploitation of results (see report)
  • 9. The Guidelines for Accessible Information ● Available in html format and for download in 25 languages (.doc, .pdf formats) at www.ict4ial.eu/guidelines-accessible-information ● An open educational resource (OER) ● Aim to support the creation of accessible information in general and for learning in particular ● Summarise and link to existing and useful resources which can be helpful for non-ICT experts
  • 10. The aim of the Guidelines ● To support the work of practitioners and organisations working in the field of education to provide accessible information to all learners who require and will benefit from more accessible information. This includes information providers such as: – school staff & university staff – librarians – communication officers – publishers – support groups and non-governmental organisations ● To support all individuals and organisations who want to provide information that is accessible in different formats
  • 11. The scope of the Guidelines ● The general steps to achieve accessible information are universal. Therefore the Guidelines apply to information in general and to information for learning in particular. ● The Guidelines aim to be content and context free, but offer concrete examples of how they can be applied to different learning situations. ● The use of assistive devices complements the practice of providing accessible information.
  • 12. How to use the Guidelines? The Guidelines build on two steps for action: ● Step 1 describes how to create accessible information via text, images, audio and video ● Step 2 considers how media can be made accessible – for example, electronic documents, online sources or printed material These two steps build upon each other. By following the Guidelines in Step 1 to make different types of information accessible, Step 2 becomes easier as already accessible information is available to be used within the different media.
  • 13. How to use the Guidelines? For each step, the Guidelines provide: ● Recommendations on how different types of information can be made accessible ● A list of resources available to support this process categorised into: – ‘easy’: actions which can be completed with a general knowledge of common software programmes – ‘advanced’: actions which can be completed with an in-depth knowledge of common software programmes, and – ‘professional’ levels: actions which can be completed with a more professional knowledge of software and general knowledge of programming
  • 14. Making your organisation’s information accessible ● A report which builds on lessons learned during the trialling of the Guidelines in three partner organisations ● It contains recommendations for organisations that wish to provide accessible information in the education sector in particular, but also more widely, as the processes are universal ● It can be used in conjunction with the Guidelines ● Contains a model of how your organisation could take a strategic approach to provide more accessible information ● Available in 23 languages http://ict4ial.eu/download- making-your-organisations-information-accessible-for- all
  • 15. Recommendations from the report 1. Include an accessibility statement in the organisation’s long term strategy 2. Develop a strategy or plan for implementing accessible information 3. Make someone responsible for implementing the information accessibility plan and provide them with the required resources 4. Plan an incremental implementation – be ambitious and modest at the same time 5. Embed accessibility into your information production and dissemination processes 6. Provide information, education and training on accessibility for all staff 7. When outsourcing information production, make sure accessibility requirements are addressed and undergo a quality check
