Review of Content Delivery Formats (1)
IMS Content Package
Standard way to package a set of resources (typically web pages) that can be deployed in various learning/content management systems including Blackboard, Desire to Learn, Moodle, Sakai, and others
IMS Content Packages utilize the learning/content management system's native navigation controls to allow users to traverse the files
Final output meets Section 508 accessibility requirements and conforms to WCAG 1.0, Priority 1 and 2 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)
Review of Content Delivery Formats (2)
Microsoft Word Document
May be used for handouts, taking notes with, or as a visual aide
The Word document itself is not accessible, for accessibility purposes use the accessible HTML format
Image size and JPEG compression may be adjusted as an option

Review of Content Delivery Formats (3)
QuickTime Movie
QuickTime movies produced are relatively small, audio is saved in the MPEG-4 format and the slides as a picture track
Table of contents, based on slide titles, may be included which allows users to instantly jump to any slide in the movie
Quick captions and SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) are options for this video format
Video and audio quality may also be adjusted to optimize the file size
