Hello and welcome to the Digital Media Accessibility Standards Consortium, a resource initiative sponsored by The Journal for Undergraduate Multimedia Projects (TheJUMP).  Within these wiki pages, we seek to build a community invested in extending current conversations on accessibility and digital media scholarship.  The primary impetus of this DMASC project is to generate best practices for accessibility for both general digital publishing and for the very unique accessibility challenges presented with emerging digital media scholarship.  Our end goal, however, is not only to establish accessibility standards for publishing digital scholarship in such a way as to include all groups of people, but to help move accessibility concerns into the beginning stages and/or composing processes of scholars working with innovative technologies and in creative multimedia platforms.

 

With these goals in mind, we also plan to have our community members foster and participate in critical conversations that may lead to a Summer Institute on Accessibility and Digital Publishing (this institute is currently tentatively titled the "Slatin Summer Institute," with a initial target date for the summer of 2012). Hence, as a member, you would be on the forefront of establishing a recurring summer institute focusing on issues central to accessibility and digital publication.

 

Thus, we are very excited to welcome new members to this wiki space and to get these conversations rolling.  We very much look forward to your contributions to our many pages—such as the best practices for web accessibility page, the captioning technologies page, and our resource page, among others.  Additionally, we want to emphasize that once you become a member, you are free to contribute, edit, or tweak information and the layout of this wiki in any way, shape or form.  We're hoping this freedom, this potential community, and the affordances of the wiki will provide us a vehicle by which we might push the standards for digital accessibility to new heights.
