Yes, last week I attended a vocational education forum with government
people. The format suggested for accessibility was HTML and ebook 
formats based on HTML, particularly SCORM (for education) and EPUB (for
everything else).

Video is a bit tricky at present as the HTML5 video standard is yet to
be widely implemented and getting closed captions to work is somewhat
problematic.
