| Objective of the Project |
The users of Czech sign language and Norwegian sign language, together with experts in desktop publishing, met to share their experience and know-how in the field of publishing information in sign languages for the purposes of higher education and professional careers of the deaf. They compared the existing technical tools for that purpose (shorter video documents, video books in sign languages, sign dictionaries, instant video communication clients). Good practiceswere assessed within a more general framework of universal learning design and hybrid books containing more layers (text, audio, video) and guidelines for such publishing, as well as a strategy for using them in both secondary and tertiary education was proposed. |
