Editor's Notes
- QUESTIONS: What is IT and why does it matter? Information Technology Inclusive Technology Don’t know how students and staff work online Need to consider diversity ways people use computers and access the Internet
- Effective learning environments are about digital as much as face to face experiences Digital Education Plan Digital Scholarship strand of Student as Producer UL PSF – Core Knowledge 4 – need to demonstrate use and value of appropriate learning technologies Single Equality Act requires a pro-active approach to accessible learning environments DSA changes
- QUESTION: what causes IT problems One word to describe Blackboard Jane Seale – double edged sword of technology – potential to both enable and disable access Creating an effective digital environment means thinking about the user experience – identifying and removing potential barriers to access
- QUESTION: examples of IT use in teaching and learning No technical reason for exclusion from digital learning environments Users should be able to change the appearance of digital text, hear text read out loud with text to speech software, convert speech to text, have access to alternative formats Multimedia valuable learning tool but also full of potential barriers to access Individual responsibility for inclusive practice – to ensure text, images, audio and video are accessible to the widest audience image http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_1000#mediaviewer/File:Sabu_with_his_Tandy_1000_Computer.jpg
- QUESTION: how to ensure access to text, images, audio, video Consider difficulties with Seeing, Hearing, Poor Broadband Connections, English as a second language Dyslexia Style guide http://www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/about-dyslexia/further-information/dyslexia-style-guide.html
- Principles of inclusive design are changes for some create an improved experience for all e.g. access to the built environment/public buildings etc.
- Adjustments which help creative inclusive resources for eight categories of learner needs and the benefits and barriers associated with them Inclusive curriculum design should pre-empt and reduce the need for reasonable adjustments for individual students.
