Abstract

This paper presents a solution that is currently being developed, for students to easily convert contents into the formats that best fulfill their needs. The basis for this solution is an XML standard file from which different format outputs are generated automatically. We here describe the creation process of a paper format, a Web format, an accessible Digital Talking Book (DTB) format and, more specifically, our recent work in automating audio generation using Tech to Speech (TTS) technologies. The user interface will be designed following a user centered design (UCD) perspective and set of methodologies and following e-learning and accessibility standards. We believe that the possibility to adapt the output format to meet the student needs will result in an increase of their satisfaction, not only regarding their interaction with the system and the converted contents or course materials, but also regarding the students' overall learning experience.
