Este artículo trata de la accesibilidad para las imágenes y descripciones mediante texto alternativo así como para la traducción en posts realizados en Facebook. El trabajo se fija en los contextos en los que no es posible la percepción visual y, considerando Facebook como un sistema, hace recomendaciones para integrar herramientas sencillas que soportan el texto alternativo para imágenes, con especial aplicación al texto incluido en las imágenes.

This paper considers the accessibility of images and alternative text descriptions for them and language translation in posts made using Facebook. The paper looks at contexts where visual perception is unavailable and, considering Facebook as a system, makes recommendations for integrating simple tools supporting the provision of alternative text for images with particular application to text embedded in images.

Further, we believe that there are grounds for personalization or individualization to be the accessibility delivery mechanism of choice to meet the diverse needs of this non-homogenous group of people in diverse contexts and in fact, of all people. From demographics it is clear that if the accessibility of the Internet of Things is not approached effectively, then a problem will be created for people with disabilities and older people. The paper gives a direction forward driven both by results from practical research with real users and theoretical considerations of what approaches are available to apply to this problem. We believe that Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is a significant aspect of the Internet of Things.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sloan,D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heath,A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hamilton,F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kelly,B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petrie,H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phipps,L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contextual Web Accessibility-Maximizing the Benefit of Accessibility Guidelines&quot; for&quot; Building the Mobile Web: Rediscovering Accessibility</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">W4A '06 Proceedings of the 2006 international cross-disciplinary workshop on Web accessibility (W4A): Building the mobile web: rediscovering accessibility?</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://opus.bath.ac.uk/402/3/w4a-2006-contextual-accessibility.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACM New York</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edinburgh, Scotland</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">191 - 191</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9780131701229</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoting and ensuring accessibility of all public web sites by 2010, ... incentives and intermediaries that maximize benefits and convenience for all so ...</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Douce,Chris</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porch,Wendy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heath,Andy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cooper,Martyn</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European unified framework for accessible lifelong learning</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ALT-C 2007</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://kn.open.ac.uk/public/getfile.cfm?documentfileid=11937</style></url></web-urls></urls><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nottingham, UK.</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This presentation introduces the European Unified Framework for Accessible Lifelong Learning project (EU4ALL). This project seeks to establish a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for delivery of accessible eLearning that meets the needs of all learners, including those with disabilities. The project differs from but compliments and supports product design-oriented approaches to accessibility such as the Web Accessibility Initiative's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It provides an architecture for the delivery of content and services that are adapted for and matched to the functional requirements of the individual learner. The project will demonstrate implementations based on several international standards with the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) systems Moodle and dotLRN and also show how typical learning process specifications such as IMS Learning Design may be used to deliver accessible eLearning. Other candidate technical standards include ISO Individualized Adaptability and Accessibility for Learning Education and Training (the internationalization of the IMS AccessForAll specifications) and W3C's Composite Capabilities/Preference Profiles (CC/PP). The working methodology of EU4ALL begins with the development of community specified use cases from focus groups and interviews with educational professionals and students. These are augmented by a study of learning support and psychological support services across Europe. The use cases are being used to inform the system design and architecture and its integration with each learning platform. The project's work includes work within the standards communities relevant to eLearning. Large-scale evaluations will be conducted and will be carried out over the final year of the project in two leading European distance learning universities to validate the approach, demonstrate the architecture's benefit for future implementations and inform the eLearning standards. In pursuing its aims the project will provide support for learners, tutors, universities, vendors and many other stakeholders and show how accessibility can be delivered within and across architectures, organizations, systems and technologies, including static and mobile devices. The presentation will present the issues, principles and report on progress of the project since its start in October 2006.

The design of an 'off the shelf' system may not, in many cases, immediately reflect the needs of an organisation. As a result a system may have to be modified or updated to ensure it matches an institution or setting in which it is to be deployed. The EU4ALL project (European Unified Approach for Accessible Life Long Learning) is exploring how to enhance the provision of accessible services using MLE?VLE systems. This necessitates understanding how MLE systems can be modified or enhanced. Method There are two main areas of technical focus within EU4ALL: how to create a system that delivers learning material that matches the functional preferences of its users, and how to connect a MLE to an external infrastructure to enable learners to be directly connected to institutional support services. Both these areas require developers to extend and work with existing systems. Results This presentation outlines some of the preliminary findings surrounding the malleability of learning technology systems gathered in the context of the EU4ALL project. A number of dimensions of extensibility regarding two significant systems, .LRN and Moodle are highlighted, illustrating a number of challenges the EU4ALL project faces. Some of these challenges, especially regarding the area of service-oriented architectures (SOA) are outlined and potential solutions presented. Conclusion The participants will gain a greater awareness about how it is possible to extend MLE systems and connect them to external infrastructures and architectures. The work that is presented emphasises the importance of accessibility in e-learning and illustrates how the EU4ALL project could step towards presenting learners with materials and services that are customised to meet their precise needs.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nevile,L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heath,A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cooper,M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rothberg,M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treviranus,J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Learner-centred accessibility for interoperable web-based educational systems</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In: 14th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2005)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13/05/2005</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.59.9932&amp;rep=rep1&amp;type=pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiba, Japan</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This paper describes the need for an information model and specifications that support a new strategy for delivering accessible computer-based resources to learners based on their specific needs and preferences in the circumstances in which they are operating.

This abstract gives a brief introduction to these specifications which will be described by the presenters and used by delegates in the workshop.There are many reasons why a user may have different needs and preferences with respect to their use of a computer, including because they have disabilities. Instead of classifying people by their disabilities, this new approach emphasizes the resulting needs in an information model for formal structured descriptions of them. It then provides a complementary formal structured information model for describing the characteristics of resources required for the matching process. The aim is to make it easy to record this information and to have it in a form that will facilitate the computer system to manage the accessibility provision efficiently.
The work described is not about how to create accessible content; that work is done primarily by the World Wide Web Consortium Web Accessibility Initiative (W3C/WAI) [1]. This is outlined for an eLearning context in a publication contributed to by the workshop presenters: the IMS Guidelines for Developing Accessible Learning Applications [2]. The distinguishing feature of the approach described in this workshop is that it provides an approach that combines distributed content into accessible resources and so is not dependent upon the universal accessibility of the original resource.
The specifications, while initiated in the educational community, are suitable for any user in any computer-mediated context. These contexts may include e-government, e-commerce, e-health and more. The specifications can also be used in a number of ways, including: to provide information about how to configure workstations or software applications, to configure the display and control of on-line resources, to search for and retrieve appropriate resources, to help evaluate the suitability of resources for a user, and in the aggregation of resources.

A HEATH

SHEFFIELD HALLAM UNIVERSITY PARTICIPATING IN CETNRE FOR EDUCATIONAL INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS, UNITED KINGDOM

Throughout the world there are many disabled persons and it has been common for disabled persons to be excluded from or disadvantaged by common educational processes, including testing and assessment processes.  Automating delivery of assessment with the aid of computers can help to overcome such inbuilt disadvantage in two ways.  On an individual level a computer system can enable some specific adaptation not normally available with written tests.  In a wider context, the standardizations that widespread delivery by computer requires can enable the more widespread use of hardware and approaches that are specific to accessibility needs and can also benefit all users, not just disabled ones.

From Jun 21st 2001 all technology, including educational materials, developed or acquired by the United States government must be accessible to users with disabilities.  Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 requires this in the U.S.  Similar legislation is coming into play in other countries including Australia and the United Kingdom.  Applications and content will need to be accessible to all.

The IMS project is producing technical interoperability specifications for educational contexts.  IMS seeks to make its specifications enable accessible applications and content and an Accessibility Working Group has taken on the task of representing accessibility issues in the IMS specification development process.  The specifications currently being addressed include the IMS Question and Test Interoperability Specification, a specification that seeks to enable the exchange of assessment and test data.  With respect to this specification the group is considering both what the specification can represent, what it needs to be able to represent and what guidelines are necessary for the construction of applications that support the specification.

This talk looks at the IMS Question and Test Interoperability Specification from an accessibility perspective.  We look at the technicalities of how the current specification measures up to those requirements of the Accessibility Working Group that are so far clear, what is needed of the representation scheme and what mechanisms could be used now and in the future to meet accessibility requirements.  This includes the use of media, the structure of the specification, stylesheets to customize material for accessibility-specific devices and the perspective of applications that support the specification.
