RE: [backstage] Where are the examples that re-purpose bbc content that isn't text?

[David Tattersall]

Hello all,   I've uploaded Iris and have asked my host to unblock the IP the bbc feeds reside at so it can work fully.   It seems the IP for newsrss.bbc.co.uk is actually different than the ip for the actual feeds(!)   When that's done I'll post the link.   David From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Siobhan Ramsey Sent: 08 August 2005 10:39 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: RE: [backstage] Where are the examples that re-purpose bbc content that isn't text? Hi Ted,   I would be interested in this for educational use and to learn more about IRIS and to see it if it could link into a project we are working on for schools in the UK.

However I had difficulty getting it live onto the web (problem with accessing a remote IP from my host). This is supposedly sorted now, however since then I've moved onto pastures anew. If there is sufficient demand then I'd happily upload Iris (as it's called) for people to play around with.

Where are the graphical or aurally re-purposed 'backstage' projects? I'm having great difficulty accessing any examples of ideas or prototypes that re-purpose bbc content that isn't text. About 10% of the population is functionally illiterate. Many people prefer graphics to text, and most of us, who are visually able, for instance use and understand the 'home button'. text news feeds are excellent for those that don't have access to graphics, but a newspaper without images doesn't seem to be popular at the present time. cheers Jonathan Chetwynd design consultant accessibility for people with learning difficulties recent reference: http://www.bsi-global.com/accessibility - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.  To unsubscribe, please visit http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/archives/2005/01/mailing_list.html .
