Session synopses

Session 1: Promoting ‘accessibility’ by applying Universal Design Principles (UDP) within data-driven Canvas course design standards. Stephen Kennedy, Technology Enhanced Learning Manager. Belfast Metropolitan College.

Session 2: GAAD – mid-May… but it’s the middle of exams! Emma Duke-Williams, Edward Wood, and LJ Logue, Educational Technologists, University of Dundee.

“This year, we had a weeklong accessibility awareness raising – in February, not May. 
We’ll outline the sessions that we ran, how it went, the response from those there, and the resources we’ve been able to generate for those who weren’t able to be there. 
One particular focus will be an accessibility training framework (CAeC) developed by a team member as part of her PGCAPHE.”
