"Accessibility Considerations for Different Multimedia Formats" is a component of Unit 6, titled "Accessible Digital Content," within the course "An Introduction to ICT Accessibility and Inclusive Design" developed by MADA Center in Qatar.
This section covers accessibility best practices when working with various multimedia formats including audio, video, images, text, and animations. The goal is to teach principles of accessible and inclusive design to create digital content and websites that are usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. It outlines important considerations for making different media formats accessible based on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

This unit "Accessible Word-Processing Documents" is designed to enhance learners' understanding of accessibility in digital content creation. Learners will explore the essential principles and techniques required to make word processing documents accessible, including testing and evaluating their accessibility. The aim is to equip learners with the skills necessary to ensure digital content is usable for all audiences, including those with disabilities.

This guide will identify E-accessibility standards in the specified domains of:
1. Websites
2. Mobile applications
3. Electronic documents
4. Media (video and audio)
5. Electronic kiosks and automated teller machines (ATMs)
6. Text and video relay services for the deaf

ICT accessibility and inclusive design is considered as a relevant and essential topic that needs to be well covered and integrated within capacity building, training and education curricula and programmes. Despite this urgent need, there is a lack of integration of ICT-AID aligned courses in educational institutions and professional development services based on a comprehensive Global competency framework delimiting all required relevant competencies and capabilities in the field of ICT accessibility and Inclusive Design. It is in this context that Mada center has developed an open competency framework in a bid to guide globally training of students and workers on ICT accessibility and inclusive design, so that they will be well prepared to excel in their accessibility professions and contribute in the creation of accessible products, contents and services.

This portal provides a repository containing policies, laws and regulations related to ICT accessibility as a reference for legislators and policy makers, locally, regionally, and internationally. The purpose of this portal is to achieve inclusion by advocating for ICT accessibility policy adoption and development, in order to actively promote an inclusive ecosystem for people with disabilities in line with international best practices and within the framework of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
