"The US Department of Justice's (DOJ) Civil Rights Division is doing everything that it can to make the web and information technology (IT) more accessible to people with disabilities. One of the most effective ways to achieve this goal is by following up on complaints submitted by citizens who feel their rights to use the internet are being denied by an organization's inaccessible technology. A landscape portrait featuring Berkeley's Campanile tower in the foreground and a rainy San Francisco Bay in the background That's exactly what happened when, in October 2014, the DOJ began investigating the free, public MOOC (Massive open online course) system offered by University of California, Berkeley when deaf and hard of hearing individuals complained they could not access the audio and video content on the site. On August 30, 2016, the DOJ submitted a 10-page letter to the administration at UC Berkeley stating that they had found the university's MOOC content to be in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which protects disabled people from discrimination. Legal Context: How Are MOOCs Subject to Accessibility Laws? The laws surrounding free online course content accessibility are not explicit."

"Uploaded on Dec 17, 2010 by CaptionMax **This video is displayed with video description and closed captions.** Directed, written, produced, designed and animated by Nina Paley, 82 minutes, 2008. Accessibility provided by CaptionMax: Video description by Annie and Spanish captions by Eladio Canibano. To learn more about CaptionMax visit: www.captionmax.com. To learn more about Nina Paley visit www.sitasingstheblues.com. Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told." "

È un film stupendo di per sé. È molto interessante anche la "video description" (audio descrizione) per i non vedenti. Forse una possibile attività, non dico in L2, ma nella formazione linguistica in generale?

"Below you will find 50+ web tools you can use to create your own web-based story. They are grouped into categories of tool types, but you can also access a complete list of all tools. Each link points to a full entry on the tool that includes a description, links and embedded versions of the original Dominoe story, links to other stories created in the tool, and some more feedback that can help you decided if the tool might be of interest. People who join this wiki can contribute to the content on these pages (learn more...). Again, your mission is not to review or try every single one (that would be madness, I know), but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now."

"Livemocha is a social network service that supports language learning through audio-visual lessons and peer tutoring tools. Launched in September 2007, the platform has over 5 million registered members from over 200 countries. Lessons are provided for 36 different languages. While the standard lessons are freely accessible for registered users, the platform also offers "premium content" for a fee. Livemocha is more than just "Rosetta Stone on the Web." A unique selling point of the educational Web community is its collaborative approach to language learning: Members of the Livemocha community do not only learn a foreign language, they also tutor other community members in their native language. Users are encouraged to form learning tandems and offer feedback on their partner's speaking or writing exercises. The Livemocha platform supports this peer learning practice through comment features, voice recording and social awareness tools. For ETC Journal, I interviewed Clint Schmidt, Livemocha's Vice President of Marketing and Products. Clint has an impressive success record of developing marketing and product functions for a variety of high-growth Internet companies, including Half.com, eBay and ZoomIn.com, India's leading photo sharing and printing site. Clint holds a BSE in Entrepreneurial Management from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania."

Trovato perché mi ha seguita su Twitter. Troppo bello per essere onesto? Però se il prodotto deve funzionare su tutte quelle piattaforme, questo dovrebbe comportare una benvenuta semplificazione della struttura, no? La quale dovrebbe facilitare l'accessibilità? Ci proverò.

Mm però il tutorial YT fa proprio schifo, nello stile "ti mostro ma non dico niente così [non] funziona in tutte le lingue", con musichetta del cavolo.

"By Kimberly Kindy, Published: June 22 Hundreds of negotiators from around the world have descended on Morocco this week to finalize a treaty aimed at ensuring that millions of blind and vision-impaired people can get books in accessible formats like audio, Braille and large print. But the treaty, years in the making, could be in jeopardy because of unresolved differences between advocates for the blind and the Motion Picture Association of America, which says the accord could undermine protections important for filmmakers, publishers and other major industries."

Lungo pezzo seriamente documentato sulla proposta di un trattato OMPI che faciliti la condivisione tra paesi diversi di libri in formati accessibili ai ciechi - e sul lobbying accanito della MPAA e di altri grossi produttori di contenuti contro questo trattato. La corrispondenza e-mail tra i lobbyisti della MPAA e il rappresentante US all'OMPI citata verso la fine dell'articolo può essere scaricata da http://keionline.org/node/1759 . La traduzione italiana automatica dell'articolo con http://translate.google.com/ ha le sue pecche tipiche, però rende abbastanza il senso generale.
