| Popis | This paper introduces the Special Thematic Session (STS) on New Methods for Creating Accessible Material in Higher Education [1]. Inclusive education, as mandated by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, demands universities to provide accessible study conditions. However, many study materials lack accessibility especially for visual content such as graphics and there are only few universities that offer a transfer service. Therefore, most students have to create solutions themselves. It is therefore necessary to develop new standardized methods that make it easier for students with visual impairments to access visual content of teaching material and exams e.g. by generating captions of charts, providing standardized descriptions and making graphics available tactilely. |
