The “Inclusive and Accessible Practice (IAP) Project”, brought together expertise from Learning Services’ Assistive Technologies and Learning Technology Development Teams (John Haycock and Martin Baxter).
Both Martin and John have come-up with a Toolkit for staff, supporting them in the production of inclusive resources. The aim is to enable all students to participate equally with digital content whilst studying. The Toolkit is called “Inclusive Digital Practice”, and is a collaboration between Learning Services and the Centre for Learning and Teaching, John Bostock (Senior Lecturer in Teaching & Learning Development).
Within our student groups it is increasingly likely that some will have a disability or learning difficulty. According to our records, approximately 14% of our students disclosed a disability, the true numbers are likely to be higher, as some students prefer not to disclose a disability, or they may just want to keep it hidden.
