Hello Everyone,
I'd also be interested, in particular what people have done to ensure
accessibility for students (especially on an intranet / departmental areas
where you have more of an idea who is likely to be browsing the pages),
with regard to students with dyslexia.
It strikes me that in HE this is the biggest group of students with
disabilities. However, the guidelines that exist tend, in my mind, to
dissuade staff from using videos/ flash on their web pages (especially on
the intranet where speed isn't an issue). However, for dyslexic,
international, and indeed the large proportion of people who find visual
explanations easier to understand, these may well be of academic use.
Are there therefore guidelines focussing on how to make learning materials
best suit all learning styles - and examples thereof?
Thanks
Emma
