Features of LecShare Pro that Apply Universal Design for Learning Principles

Principle 1. Equitable Use Multiple alternate file formats, visual and auditory in delivery format Accessible to assistive and mobile technologies

Principle 4. Perceptible Information HTML with headings for structure, row and column headings for tables HTML with external CSS (custom stylesheets) - Increased functionality

Principle 6. Low Physical Effort Table of contents with multiple HTML pages with headings

Examples of UDI in Online and Blended Courses

Features of LecShare Pro that Apply Universal Design for Instruction Principles

Web Site (HTML) Most accessible choice of the available formats (xHTML with external CSS)

meets Section 508 accessibility requirements without coding Zip option for packaging, sharing via email, or placing into course

management systems Final output may include table of contents, audio player controls, lecture

notes, invisible skip to content link, and hyperlinks within the presentation Multiple ways to view content – full view, view all slides, access keys Works most reliably across browsers, platforms, and mobile devices

Review of Content Delivery Formats (1)

IMS Content Package

Standard way to package a set of resources (typically web pages) that can be deployed in various learning/content management systems including Blackboard, Desire to Learn, Moodle, Sakai, and others

IMS Content Packages utilize the learning/content management system's native navigation controls to allow users to traverse the files

Final output meets Section 508 accessibility requirements and conforms to WCAG 1.0, Priority 1 and 2 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)

Review of Content Delivery Formats (2)

Microsoft Word Document

May be used for handouts, taking notes with, or as a visual aide

The Word document itself is not accessible, for accessibility purposes use the accessible HTML format

Image size and JPEG compression may be adjusted as an option

Lecture notes may be included as an option

Review of Content Delivery Formats (3)

QuickTime Movie

QuickTime movies produced are relatively small, audio is saved in the MPEG-4 format and the slides as a picture track

Table of contents, based on slide titles, may be included which allows users to instantly jump to any slide in the movie

Quick captions and SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) are options for this video format

Video and audio quality may also be adjusted to optimize the file size

Review of Content Delivery Formats (4)

MPEG-4 (Video Podcast)

Compatible with many portable video players (iPod Touch, iPad, Android tablets) and may be used for uploading presentations as video podcasts to iTunesU or blogs with RSS feeds

Video and audio quality may be adjusted for optimization purposes

Additional options for exporting captions in MPEG-4 videos:SMIL, Squeeze, Overlay, Below

Note: The MPEG-4 Format does not meet 508 accessibility requirements

Review of Content Delivery Formats (5)

LecShare Pro application is an inexpensive and intuitive way to ensure instructional delivery of content that meets accessibility standards

LecShare Pro has features that inherently apply universal design principles

LecShare Pro allows you to provide multiple file formats for various users to choose from to meet their learning needs
