This unit focuses on the critical aspects of accessibility in various common digital formats. It aims to equip learners with a deep understanding of the key considerations necessary for making digital content such as word processing documents, presentations, PDF files, and multimedia formats accessible. The objectives are to familiarize learners with the fundamental principles of accessibility, ensuring they can create content that is usable by people with diverse abilities. Additionally, the unit covers methods for testing, evaluating, and reviewing digital content to identify and rectify accessibility issues, enhancing the overall accessibility of digital materials.

"Accessibility Considerations for Different Multimedia Formats" is a component of Unit 6, titled "Accessible Digital Content," within the course "An Introduction to ICT Accessibility and Inclusive Design" developed by MADA Center in Qatar.
This section covers accessibility best practices when working with various multimedia formats including audio, video, images, text, and animations. The goal is to teach principles of accessible and inclusive design to create digital content and websites that are usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. It outlines important considerations for making different media formats accessible based on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

This presentation introduces Computer Science students to the notion of accessibility: developing software for people with disabilities. This lesson provides a discussion of why accessibility is important (including the legal, societal and ethical benefits) as well as an overview of different types of impairments (visual, auditory, motor, neurological/cognitive) and how developers can make their software accessible to users with those disabilities. This lesson includes videos and links to readings and tutorials for students.

Mada Assistive Technology Portal is the first digital platform specialized in assistive technology in Arabic. The portal provides a wide range of information, resources and assistive technology services to enable and support the independence of persons with disabilities through accessible information and communication technology ICT.

ICT accessibility and inclusive design is considered as a relevant and essential topic that needs to be well covered and integrated within capacity building, training and education curricula and programmes. Despite this urgent need, there is a lack of integration of ICT-AID aligned courses in educational institutions and professional development services based on a comprehensive Global competency framework delimiting all required relevant competencies and capabilities in the field of ICT accessibility and Inclusive Design. It is in this context that Mada center has developed an open competency framework in a bid to guide globally training of students and workers on ICT accessibility and inclusive design, so that they will be well prepared to excel in their accessibility professions and contribute in the creation of accessible products, contents and services.

The purpose of Mada innovation program is to encourage innovators to bring relevant innovative Arabic assistive technologies and accessibility products and services for Persons with disabilities and the elderly.

This resource explains what accessibility means, why it’s important, who requires it, and how educational agencies can meet their responsibilities.

Are you new to accessibility? This resource is meant to be your entry point into the creation of accessible content with familiar tools such as Microsoft Office and Google Docs. You will learn about five practices that can have a significant impact on the learner experience for all students, especially those who rely on assistive technology for their access to the curriculum.

Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) enables direct communication between the brain and an external device. BCI systems have become a popular area of study in recent years. These technologies can be utilized in various ways to assist people with disabilities and healthy individuals. Regarding substantial BCI advancements, we can say that these systems are on the verge of commercialization. This review has considered current trends in BCI research on inclusive education to assist students with disabilities in achieving improved learning outcomes for all students in an inclusive environment.

Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) face daily challenges and barriers in different sectors, especially the ICT field, which result in their exclusion from accessing learning opportunities and using digital technologies.
This training workshop is part of the Mada Academy ICT accessibility training program.
