VIDBE-Q 2025 Volume 70 Issue 2
Currently, accessibility files can be downloaded for use on any platform that
supports accessible media. However, in the near future, DCMP will offer a hosting
option to members. This will allow members to upload their videos, add
accessibility, and then either generate a link or embed code that will enable
students to view them on the DCMP accessible platform. User feedback is greatly
appreciated, especially during this beta testing phase. DCMP plans to offer this
tool free of charge for DCMP members and at a reasonable price for school
districts, universities, non-profits, and other individuals and organizations.
Those who would like to become beta testers are encouraged to sign up.
DCMP is striving to make the platform accessible to all users and invites feedback
from users on how we can improve the system's functionality and user-friendliness.
DCMP has many other resources that benefit both educators and families,
which can be found on the eLearning Resources page. There is a crash course for
general education teachers who are new to working with students who are blind or
have low vision, Access: Working with Students Who are Blind or Have Low
Vision. It is a good overview of various types of vision loss, what accommodations
different students may need, and so much more. It can also serve as a refresher for
teachers who may have forgotten some of the details their local TSVI shared with
them.
