Access for All Standard
With support from the U.S. Department of Education, NCAM established a working group on access within the IMS Global Learning Consortium (IMS), which includes learning companies, educational institutions and international standards groups. This working group has developed and is promoting open access specifications for online learning platforms that embed the capacity to transform and customize presentation of content based on individual user profiles. The Access for All specification has been adopted as an international standard (ISO/IEC 24751: Individualized Adaptability and Accessibility in E-learning, Education and Training) and can be implemented in learning management or knowledge transfer systems across every possible domain, from K-12 and post-secondary learning resources to professional development and lifelong learning.
