1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,200 This Video is part of a series within LEAD-ME, a project funded by the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme of the European Union. 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,266 With this series, we want to inform professional educators, trainers, teachers and speakers 3 00:00:16,266 --> 00:00:23,232 on how to create accessible, barrier free content for live audiences. 4 00:00:23,233 --> 00:00:32,266 We also want to give you some ideas on accessibility of video- and audio broadcast, print and pictures. 5 00:00:32,266 --> 00:00:43,299 You will receive basic information on how computers, internet or social media are being used by a diverse audience. 6 00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:50,433 This video will focus on print and pictures. 7 00:00:50,433 --> 00:00:57,433 Handouts and printed material create the biggest barrier for blind and visually impaired people. 8 00:00:57,433 --> 00:01:08,499 One solution could be to provide braille print.Braille is the written language for blind people.But not every blind person is capable of reading braille. 9 00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:14,500 Another solution is, to use digitalized material only. 10 00:01:14,500 --> 00:01:25,500 In this case, some people can use their magnification software or rely on automatic reading.Make sure to provide alternative text for your pictures. 11 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:31,000 Example:On this slide you can see two drawings.The drawings are symbolic for photographs, one 12 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,500 showing a flower and a bee, the other showing three people. 13 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:43,533 Written material can also create a barrier for people with learning difficulties or dyslexia. 14 00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:51,533 Easy to read texts can be created ahead of time.Make sure to follow ETR standards. 15 00:01:51,533 --> 00:02:02,533 If you did not have a chance to get easy to read text ahead of time, provide assistance like graphic recording or supportive communication. 16 00:02:02,533 --> 00:02:12,533 As written language also is difficult for most of the deaf, illustrations, easy to read texts and summaries will also help people like John. 17 00:02:12,533 --> 00:02:20,033 Mike is old-school.He likes to take printed handouts home for recap.Lucy and Clara say: digitalized slides and handouts can 18 00:02:20,033 --> 00:02:27,566 be e-mailed to us directly. We don’t need printed handouts. 19 00:02:27,566 --> 00:02:35,566 Story-Board by Klaus Hoeckner and Petra Plicka.Pictures and Animations by Petra Plicka.
