IMS' mission is to facilitate the delivery of internet based distributed learning technology to all users and all use environments world wide.
Significance
Advantages for learners and professionals with disabilities. This Project will have pervasive impact on access by people with disabilities in every conceivable learning environment 12 vocational and post secondary education the government and the military and in faculty development and workplace training.
The development of Partnership Working Group on Access will impact the accessibility of online resources nationally and world wide by actively engaging leading companies involved in product development institutions implementing distributed learning environments and international standards organizations
Advantages for all learners. This Project will enrich the overall learning experience by proliferating presentation methods and the exploitation of alternative devices which correspond to students' various learning styles. All learners will benefit from this initiative whether they are physically disabled learning disabled or simply prefer reading text which accompanies audio employing speech output or utilizing hands free access. There is general agreement among educators that offering multiple methods of presentation and multiple avenues for exploration of concepts offers the best solution for all learners.
Impact on institutions publishers and Web developers using partners' content and technology. The commitment of project partners to develop and implement solutions which serve students with disabilities will set standard of performance within the online education industry. Thousands of instructors administrators institutions and publishers currently using Project partners' technology platforms will benefit from specifications and resources that enable alternate access methods.
The commitment from project partners major platform providers technology developers educational publishers and assessment services to implementing access specifications will contribute to the accessibility of electronic content in every educational arena.
Needs Assessment
According to the National Center for Education Statistics NCES 54% percent of higher education institutions offered distance learning courses. NCES also reports steady rise in the number of students with disabilities entering post secondary education. Seventy nine percent of the nation's postsecondary institutions reported enrolling students with disabilities. Once students with disabilities do obtain degree the NCES analysis suggests that they experience employment and professional outcomes similar to those of students without disabilities.
Equal percentages of college graduates with and without disabilities were employed either full or part time were compensated at similar rates of pay and were likely to enroll in graduate school. However postsecondary students with disabilities are less likely to obtain degree than their nondisabled peers. Many factors contribute to this lower enrollment and higher attrition but clearly easy and equal access to online learning environments can help level the playing field by removing barriers to resources.
Increasingly all students in class utilize institution wide learning platforms and Web based resources that enable both distance learning and online educational support. Half of all college students own personal computers making on campus online education as pervasive as distance learning. Teachers post resources which include Web page addresses PDF documents or streaming media presentations; they conduct online classes and tutorials and many offer virtual office hours via mail.
Educational publishers provide online resources to supplement and in some cases to replace classroom texts. Yet most of the learning platforms and almost all of the content used by these institutions present serious and pervasive barriers for students with sensory disabilities. The picture is equally grim for instructors and administrators.
Design
The Non Profit Foundation has long and successful history of developing and proliferating technologies and standards which address the needs of industry while serving the interests of people with disabilities. However resolution of technical barriers and development of recommended practices is only half the battle. Integration and implementation of the specifications and solutions into the budgets practices and products of developers is an ongoing and serious challenge. His Project encompasses the key components needed to effect major change including detailing industry specifications technical solutions evaluated by end users and industry implementations all of which will occur in highly visible forum.
Partnership Workgroups will co lead the four year partnership each providing complementary expertise resources and spheres of influence. Partnership staff will provide technical expertise defining requirements and establishing quality standards. We will provide support resources and expertise to industry partners and others as they implement and expand current access technologies.
The Partnership will also freely disseminate innovative solutions developed within its own labs and elsewhere and support the development and trials of emerging technologies. JZZ staff will provide leadership for specification development and delivery and will dedicate staff resources to develop and include access specifications in the standards work that is underway both nationally and world wide. IMS will infuse access considerations into the national dialogue on technology and education and provide venues to support training and dissemination.
JZZ will also employ accessibility and alternative use requirements as harmonizing mechanism to integrate its existing specifications.
Activities
Project partners will participate in three overlapping 18 month long cycles to design build evaluate and deliver accessibility specifications and will test and develop products and services incorporating those specifications. Project partners will also provide opportunities to present the work to their colleagues developers client institutions and content providers. Maintaining Commitment to Execute. Project partners have committed to developing accessibility specifications and once refined facilitate implementing them in products and services.
The IMS process is deliberately focused on producing just enough specification to enable early implementation and use of products and services. As rough consensus concerning the boundaries and coverage of access specifications emerge early adopters will test and deliver accessible products and services. Practical feedback from industry and testing with end users and system administrators will inform the refinement and extension of the specification its implementations and effective ways of using those implementations.
This process of iterative refinement and evolution will continue until there is sufficient general consensus to warrant formal adoption and strict enforcement of compliance. The Advisory Team see Appendix will play critical role representing external constituencies affected by the specification and will provide the special expertise necessary to produce high quality result. They will contribute to research and assessment encourage widespread review of specifications attend and present at project workshops and seminars and critically evaluate solutions as appropriate to their areas of expertise.
Project deliverables include. Successively improving versions of Access Specifications and technical documentation including best practices annual access seminars documentation of access solutions and implementations white papers research reports iterative and final end user evaluations and final report.
