The Digital Audio Project is managed by Disabled Student Services (DSS) at The Open University (OU) in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom.
The Digital Audio Project is a three year programme which began in March 2007, to investigate, create and distribute digital talking books (DTBs) from OU course materials by utilizing the technological innovations created by the new international standard - the Digital Accessible Information SYstem (DAISY). As a result, DSS will be able to provide a wide range of educational materials to print-disabled students in a high-quality alternative format.
On this website, we hope that you find a great deal of useful information regarding the OU, the DSS department, the nature of DAISY DTBs and the importance of creating accessible materials for students with print disabilities.
