Multimedia
Multimedia elements provide engaging extensions to your subject materials. These elements do not need to exclude students with impairments if careful planning occurs before development.
Multimedia elements include:
- Streaming media such as audio and video
- Interactive objects such as Flash, Shockwave and Java
- Animations such as GIFs and Flash
To improve accessibility you can:
- Provide equivalent alternatives such as transcripts, text descriptions, closed captions and audio narrations
- Ensure keyboard-accessible controls are available
It is important that you check with your multimedia developers that these accessibility features are included in the design of your multimedia material. Staff from Academic Development & Support are available to advise you further.
