1. The INDATA Project produces three widely distributed and popular podcasts, Assistive Technology Update, Assistive Technology Frequently Asked Questions, and Accessibility Minute. These shows have highly engaged audience in over 160 countries. A keyword search in iTunes of “assistive” lists two our shows in the top ten results (Assistive Technology Update is listed as number 1 and ATFAQ is listed as number 5 world-wide). The INDATA project has created over 400 “Tech Tip” videos on YouTube that have been viewed over 500,000 times.
2. Based on market research from organizations with similar outreach strategies the INDATA Project is piloting a series of downloadable information sheets focused on specific categories on assistive technology. Initial targeted topics include Internet of Things, Note-taking Devices, Shopping in the Community. This initiative will be monitored and re-evaluated in the upcoming project year.
