Title: Updating existing content
Course: Accessibility (Multiple LMS Version) > Section: Page Breakdown of Lesson

Here are some typical request a support person for a student with disabilities deals with on a daily basis:

1. Handwritten math notes: The only thing you can do is to physically retype them into Scientific notebook, to retain the mathematics formatting. Then you can print for all students or send to be brailled.
2. A Microsoft Word file that says it is a doc file, but it is really a picture of text. I saved it as a PDF file so I could recognize it with Omni Page, etc. Teachers give these kinds of files to kids who use screen readers and wonder why the kids can't read them.
3. A teacher put up a link to a specific book and what popped up was a google book resource. So all you can do is A) Go find the physical book in the library or maybe order it (takes time) or B) physically retype the print (Very time consuming but quicker than a, but there are copyright laws to consider so the most legal thing would be to put it in braille.)

You likely have existing content to use and update. Watch the video for what is a typical page and some of the items that require attention.

You will soon have an opportunity to view actual lessons that have been assigned to students and you can decide what you would do to update those pages.
