Colleagues,

Several of our - the National Institutes of Health's - organizations are working on improving their multimedia accessibility, specifically around audio-descriptions. We've been finding a great many examples of videos and television shows with AD, but no examples of instructional or informational videos, multimedia, television programs, or films.

We are currently researching http://www.acb.org/adp/streaming.html and http://www.acb.org/adp/ad.html. Netflix apparently has a list of programs which have AD (http://www.netflix.com/browse/audio-description) but it's password protected – and I don't know if their catalog/catalogue has programs of the type we're seeking to study.

Any links to AD examples of informational, instructional, documentary, non ‘entertainment'-type programs would be greatly appreciated!

Gary

What if the first question we asked was, "what is so unique about this situation that it justifies exclusion? instead of, "how much does it cost to make it accessible?

Elsevier, a medical publishing company, has an animation collection with growing audio description collection as well. Ted Gies may be able to provide some examples, = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = .

Additionally, DCMP's description key is structured for instructional description. Www.dcmp.org.
