- What do you understand by the word ‘accessibility’?
- The Law? The law might be considered to be a driver for accessible teaching – and here we’re primarily thinking about the Equality Act (2010) – but in terms of everyday practice, who wants ‘fear of the consequences of breaking the law’ to be the driving factor? Let’s think about some other driving factors… Photo Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/38409127@N08/5621813850
- Changes to the Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) Eligible DSAs students assessed as requiring a computer to undertake their studies because of their disability, will be expected to contribute the first £200 towards the cost of their computer. DSAs will no longer pay for higher specification and/or higher cost computers simply because of the way in which a course is delivered. These will continue to be available where a student needs one solely by virtue of their disability. Peripheral computer equipment (e.g. printers and scanners), consumable items and books will no longer be routinely funded through DSA, Where specialist student accommodation is provided by the institution or its agent any additional costs will not be met by DSAs. This does not apply to privately rented accommodation.

- Bring your own device Encourage students to bring their own devices like mobile phones, tablets and recorders Students will have customised these to fit their needs Lots of apps which can support student learning (note taking, mind maps, audio recording, images) Text on a device can be easier to read as interface customised to the student Image from: mattcornock shared under CC BY-NC 2.0 http://www.flickr.com/photos/41672704@N06/8938621161/
- Blackboard
- Checking tools This helps to identify accessibility issues with Word Documents, PowerPoint Presentations and Excel Spreadsheets It provides information on the error, explains why it is important and provides advice on how to solve it However it can not pick on all accessibility problems but is a useful tool to use at the end of creating your resource Image From: Chris J Bowley shared under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 http://www.flickr.com/photos/21814247@N08/5247980465/
- Communication The key to accessibility and inclusive practice is encouraging communication between you and your students. They need to feel confident that they can be open about what they need and talk with you about what might be a suitable alternative.
