Accessibility in multimodal digital learning materials

Abstract

This review is based on research-based guidelines and principles for accessibility in multimodal digital learning materials and educational texts. It also includes research on the use of the body and interaction as a kind of modality. In the context of the review a number of recommendations is themed, based on findings in the literature, from a didactic-pedagogical perspective. These themes relate to: the structure and content of learning materials; software and formats; the correlation between modalities; and kinesthetics. We conclude with a presentation of general principles for the idea of broad accessibility. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
