Accessibility Matters: How A11y-NIMAS Master Supports Academic Publishers

In today’s digital age, ensuring that content is accessible to everyone is more important than ever. Accessibility, often abbreviated as A11y, focuses on designing and developing content. This approach accommodates the needs of individuals with disabilities. A commitment to accessibility not only helps promote inclusion. It also complies with global accessibility standards. This ensures that educational and other essential materials are available to a wider audience.

The A11y-NIMAS Master is a crucial tool for academic publishers looking to meet these standards. We convert educational materials into the NIMAS (National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard) format. This provides content that is accessible to students with visual, auditory, or cognitive disabilities. The NIMAS format allows for materials to be easily converted into braille, large print, audio, or digital text. This ensures that students have the tools they need to succeed.

For academic publishers, adopting A11y-NIMAS ensures compliance with accessibility regulations and expands the reach of their content. It guarantees that all learners, regardless of their abilities, can access the same high-quality educational materials.

By choosing A11y-NIMAS Master, academic publishers take a step toward inclusivity. They also promote educational equity. This helps to shape a world where accessible learning is a right, not a privilege.

NIMAS MASTERS provided a superb service for our compliance project. We required over 500 PDFs to be NIMAS compliant, including a range of complex images and graphics. From the offset, they intuitively understood our complex system of materials and were extremely communicative throughout the project. We had an aggressive schedule that they were able to meet and ensured all files were submitted to NIMAC and certified before signing off the project. It was a pleasure to work with Brijesh and his team.

Thanks so much Brijesh! That’s exciting to note that all NIMAS files have been certified, and we super appreciate you making an effort to deal with the alt-text fields and other metadata for all our materials.
