Users of Czech sign language and Norwegian sign language, together with experts in desktop publishing, will meet to share their experience and know-how in the field of publishing information in sign languages for the purposes of higher education and professional carrier of the deaf. They will compare the existing technical tools for that purpose (shorter video documents, video books in sign languages, sign dictionaries, instant video communication clients). Pieces of good practice will be assessed within a more general framework of universal learning design and hybrid books containing more layers (text, audio, video) and guidelines for such publishing will be proposed.
