Open Textbook Accessibility Focus Group
CAPER BC and BCcampus coordinated an Accessibility Focus Group, which comprised of students with print disabilities. In December 2014 we asked students to review and provide written feedback on five chapters from five different open textbooks. Written feedback was received and compiled and on January 27, 2015. Representatives from CAPER BC, Camosun College, and BCcampus met face-to-face with five visually impaired students to gather verbal feedback through focus groups. Feedback gathered will determine accessibility improvements required for open textbooks with the goal of creating an accessibilty toolkit for content developers.
