Generation of accessible diagrams by semantics preserving adaptation
Pages 49 - 74
Abstract
Diagrams are important components of educational materials. They can be found in various media. Printed media, such as text books, have traditionally been the most commonly used media for educational material, however online electronic resources, such as web pages and e-books, are becoming increasingly popular sources of educational content. Online materials include static diagrams, like text books, but may also include dynamic content such as animations and components that can interact with the user.
