EASIT: Easy Access for Social Inclusion Training
EASIT Unit 1. Media accessibility.
Hello. I am a talking pencil.
I wear red glasses and white gloves
and I have a pointing stick in my left hand.
I will be your guide through the introduction to Unit 1 of the EASIT project.
Let's enter the classroom with blue walls and a window on the left.
Let's not forget the most important element:
the whiteboard in front of us.
Unit 1 deals with media accessibility.
With a touch of my pointer on the whiteboard
the title of the first element of the unit appears.
It's called "Human diversity".
Here you will learn about the concept of human diversity
and about different disability models.
The second one is "What is accessibility?".
Here we will define the concept of accessibility
and provide examples of accessibility legislation.
“What is Universal Design?” is the third element in this unit.
You will learn about user needs and participatory approaches to design.
The fourth element in this unit tries to answer the question
“What is media accessibility?”.
You will learn what an audiovisual text is,
what media accessibility means
and what standards and legislation exist in this field.
And now we come to the final element of Unit 1:
“What are accesibility services?”.
Here you will learn in more detail about a wide range of accessibility services
such as live and recorded subtitling,
audio description, audio subtitling, sign language interpreting,
touch tours and other access services.
These are the topics you will learn about in EASIT Unit 1,
supported by different tasks and videos.
Enjoy this unit!
