SensusAccess
SensusAccess is a self-service, alternate media solution for educational
institutions. SensusAccess allows students, faculty, staff and alumni to
automatically convert documents into a range of alternate media including audio
books (MP3 and DAISY), e-books (EPUB, EPUB3 and Mobi) and digital Braille. The
service can also be used to convert inaccessible documents such as image-only
PDF files, JPG pictures and Microsoft PowerPoint presentations into more
accessible and less tricky formats. We call that Inclusion Technology.
SensusAccess is now fully integrated into Brightspace. It is strongly
recommended that all faculty add this external tool to their courses. The
students can then utilize the tool to gain easy access to accessible materials.
