ACCMD

Also known as: ACCessibility MetaData, IMS ACCessibility MetaData

A metadata specification developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium for describing the accessibility characteristics of learning resources. ACCMD provides a structured way to document whether a resource contains auditory, visual, textual, or tactile information, and to identify equivalent alternative resources. This metadata enables content adaptation systems to automatically select appropriate media formats based on a learner's accessibility needs and preferences, such as serving text alternatives to screen reader users or visual alternatives to deaf learners.
