Dear All
Apologies for cross posting but this is just to let you know that we are
re-running our free online FutureLearn course Digital Accessibility:
Enabling Participation in the Information Society starting 9th October 2017.
You can get further details and sig-up at
https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/digital-accessibility.
Please pass this on to anyone you know who would like to learn about how
technology can be used to assist us all in our daily lives. The course will
also discuss how to overcome the barriers that may be introduced by digital
content and technologies. The five weeks will cover:
. Understanding the concepts of disability, usability and
accessibility
. Creating accessible content.
. Enabling people to communicate on mobile devices
. Understanding and overcoming barriers to accessing the web.
. Enabling access to daily living technologies
No prior knowledge is required and everyone is welcome.
