[Athen] Online Accessibility and Music Courses?

[Noble, Stephen via athen-list]

Some years ago, I helped with Bookshare's Accessible Image Sample Book. I wrote a couple of the sections, including the section on music Sample 8: Music - Accessible Image Sample Book<https://diagramcenter.wpengine.com/samplebook/08-Music.xhtml>

It provides some general guidance on accessible documents containing musical notation.

You can also find the landing page for the entire resource at Accessible Image Sample Book - DIAGRAM Center<http://diagramcenter.org/standards-and-practices/accessible-image-sample-book.html>

Hope that provides some insights.

Hey all,



Our Music Department is just starting to think about how to meet the upcoming Title II rules, and most of my experience with music has been custom created alt-formats for a specific student, so not sure about best practices around music?  Music scores posted online seem to be their main question right now.



UIdaho doesn’t have a central accessibility policy or road map to how we plan on making online content accessible, which means lots of random questions for me. Yay… 😊



Thanks in advance for any help!
