In schedule before the official end of the project, the last products of the E-Learn-ViP/C4EA project are finally produced and are ready for download. The example graphical user interfaces can be downloaded from the download area of our website. Those example environments should give the reader an impression about a probable setup and design of accessible e-learning systems. The files are provided as self extracting files, or as tagged PDF files. The example CBT was developed in context of a diploma thesis by Mr. Sebastian Starke. In this sample CBT is explained how to design an accessible CBT and how to implement Access Keys.

Now you also can find the final versions of our rating system and the various guidelines in French, Danish and Dutch languages in the specific Download areas.

In September the CD-ROM with more than 250 Megabyte data about the project, will be released. The documents on the CD are also provided as tagged PDF and Open Document Format. Corresponding to the decision of the EC, the project consortium supports the idea of the OASIS/ODF Open Document Format, to create documents which are independent accessible from the utilized word processor.

When the CD is released, you can order then your copy of the project CD-ROM for a shipping fee at your next E-Learn-ViP/C4EApartner.

Common - SightCity trade fair started with good interest about projects

webmaster@e-learn-vip.org — Thu, 18 May 2006 09:34:30 +0200

From May 17th to 19th the BFW Dueren and Halle are presenting their services on the trade fair Sight City in Frankfurt. This fair is specialized to services and devices for people with visually handicaps. In the past years the SightCity reaches increasing importance for visitors and exhibitors, due to the specific subject. One advantage for visitors is that it offers free entrance and is easy to reach with public transportation. This year about 90 exhibitors are represented on the fair, which is located in the Sheraton Airport hotel in Frankfurt. Many exhibitors demonstrate new and innovative electronic devices, which improve the private or professional situation of people with visual handicaps.

So far this fair is also a good platform for the BFW to present the projects E-Learn-ViP, See-ViP and PROVIPTRAIN to an interested audience. As a matter of fact there were several providers of accessibility web portals and training institutes interested in these projects. All interested visitors could be informed in detail by the present project staff members and were provided with leaflets of the projects. You can find the exhibition stand of the BFW Dueren and Halle in room 1031 on the fair. We are looking forward to inform you about our services and projects.
