GBA Steering Committee member All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development (ACR:GCD), has recently announced important progress on one of GBA’s flagship initiatives, the Begin with Books prize, with the contribution of age-appropriate early grade reading content related to Covid-19 to the Global Digital Library.
Panelists from All Children Reading: A Grand Challenge for Development’s (ACR GCD) plenary session at the 8th annual Mobiles for Education (mEducation) Symposium urged the audience of global education innovators and implementers to develop or implement digital solutions that embrace inclusive design for children with disabilities. Simply offering books and literacy materials in digital formats does not equate to accessibility, so more must be done to incorporate features including alt text with image descriptions, sign language video, voice-over, and text that can easily be enlarged, among other features, panelists noted.
