The WGBH National Center for Accessible Media announces
research-based Guidelines for Describing STEM Images for use within Digital Talking Books.
These guidelines are the result of a seminal effort, funded by the National Science Foundation, to develop recommended practices for descriptions of science, technology, engineering and math images within digital talking books (DTBs). The work was jointly undertaken by leading organizations that pioneered description for visually impaired users and are currently shaping national policy and practices for the provision of accessible materials in electronic formats.
NCAM staff will be providing training for implementing these STEM Description Guidelines at conferences and through webinars. If you or your organization would like to participate in a webinar, please contact: Bryan Gould, bryan_gould@wgbh.org.
