Creating Accessible iTunes U Content

The National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH has created guidelines for
content providers who would like to create accessible iTunes U media via
captions, subtitles and audio descriptions. This guidelines document
provides step-by-step documentation on creating fully accessible media,
including:

? Closed captions and audio descriptions that the user can turn on or off as
needed.
? Open subtitles and descriptions that are available to everyone watching or
listening.
? Closed subtitles for adding multiple language tracks to video files.
? Accessible PDFs.

Also included with the guidelines are links to eight video and audio clips
that illustrate the various forms of accessible media discussed in the
document. Using these guidelines, iTunes U content providers can create
content that all people can learn from including people with vision and
hearing loss.
