Hi All,

My additional quality area would be something like 'Degree of Alignment to Accessibility Standards', meaning the degree to which the resource(s) can be easily used for students with sight, hearing and mobility impairments.  As an educator, who sometimes works with such students, this would inform me about whether I could use the resource 'as is' or if I would need to spend time changing the resource so that it was accessible (by adding closed captions to a video for example).
