Rob,

I have not, but this is quite interesting to me. Can you please provide me with samples or more information on this? <EMAIL REMOVED> . I would love to explore it with you too.

Subject: [WebAIM] Reference to physical models or tactile graphics in audio descriptions?

I was wondering if anyone has seen this strategy used in lecture videos in online courses that have a heavy spatial component, like geography:

Instead of trying to awkwardly insert detailed audio descriptions in a video, an instructor could provide students with tactile graphics or models of the things being displayed, and reference those in the audio descriptions or timed text track with something like "graphic 4 displayed."

Anybody come across this technique before?
