Creating accessible information using Microsoft Word: hints and tips for ever...Jisc Scotland
Most people who work in colleges regardless of their role produce Word documents. They are used to create learning and teaching material, to produce information about services, to communicate information across the organisation.
There is a legal obligation for colleges to ensure that no-one is disadvantaged because of a disability, to anticipate the needs of people who might be accessing your information and your services and to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate their needs. One simple thing that everyone can do to meet these obligations is to ensure that the material that they create using Microsoft Office is created inclusively, doing so will ensure that it is accessible to a wide range of people who use assistive technologies or who have difficulty accessing text based information.
This presentation will highlight some simple ways to make your documents accessible using Word 2010 and how well designed Word documents can be converted into accessible PDFs.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

58. Format of e-content
Make your one or two web pages an outline of your e-
content
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the e-
content
Use the titles of each web page as main points
59. Structure – Good
Write in point form, not complete sentences
Include 4-5 points per Web page
Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
60. Slide Structure - Bad
This page contains too many words for a presentation
slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult
both for your audience to read and for you to present
each point. Although there are exactly the same number
of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much
more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too
much time trying to read this paragraph instead of
listening to you.
61. Structure – Good
Show one point at a time:
Will help learner concentrate on what you are saying
Will prevent learner from reading ahead
Will help you keep your e-content focused
62. Structure - Bad
Do not use distracting animation
Do not go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the animation that you use
63. Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read
from
Always be consistent with the background that you use
64. Graphs - Good
Use graphs rather than just charts and words
Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw
data
Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
Always title your graphs
65. Fonts - Good
Use at least an 12-point font
Use different size fonts for main points and secondary
points
this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the
title font is 36-point
Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial
66. Fonts - Bad
If you use a small font, your learner won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT
TO READ
Don’t use a complicated font
67. Color - Good
Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the
background
Ex: blue font on white background
Use color to reinforce the logic of your structure
Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
Use color to emphasize a point
But only use this occasionally
68. Colour - Bad
Using a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read
Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying.
Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary
Using a different colour for secondary points is also
unnecessary
Trying to be creative can also be bad
69. Background - Good
Use backgrounds such as this one that are attractive but
simple
Use backgrounds which are light
Use the same background consistently throughout your
e-content
70. Graphs - Bad

Blue Balls 20.4 27.4 90 20.4

Shading is distracting

speling mistakes
the use of of repeated words
grammatical errors you might have make
