This challenge is compounded by multiple issues including getting authoring
tools to implement the standards and expose the UI to allow for entry of the
necessary information, getting publishers, educators, and content creators
to use the appropriate authoring tool, training these people on the tool,
and ensuring the content is distributed in an accessible manner. In 2014 I
still see many primary, secondary, and post-secondary education materials
that are in formats that are completely inaccessible.
