[Athen] AIM customization for Alt Format Production

[Ali Steenis via athen-list]

Hello,

We create a custom ISBN for the readings needed for a specific class. Then we will create specific assignments for individual readings or handout conversions that can be assigned to different staff. This has worked well for us in V4 and V5 so far.

If you have any other questions, I’m happy to be a resource.

Warmly,

ATHEN Community,
If your college disability office uses AIM and you have managed to design a usable Alternative Format Production module, I would love to hear from you. We are embarking on our development of the AIM 5.0 Alt Formats and could use some examples of how you've configured it to work with your workflow. We do more handouts, worksheets, and lecture slides, than we do full textbooks, but the AIM Alt Text module seems to be primarily built for textbook requests and fulfillment. If you are willing to share an outline, or flow chart of your AIM configuration, it would help us understand the capabilities. You can email me off list if you don't feel comfortable sharing this information so widely. Thanks in advance for helping with our transition to the AIM platform. Best regards,
Sean Loraas
