An Efficient Method to Produce Accessible Contents for Online STEM Education

Year: 2022

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Many online educational materials for STEM are now produced with Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT); however, many of them are not necessarily accessible for print-disabled students. By making use of Infty software, our new add-on allows users to add easily alt text/aloud reading with a TTS voice to any technical part such as math expressions included in PPT slides. An accessible MP4 video for STEM education also can be produced efficiently. The video contents produced in this manner are preliminarily evaluated by comparison with another accessible content: “ChattyBook" (audio-embedded HTML5).
