Hi all,

since the HE sector has committed itself, as part of its Accessibility Statements from last Sept., to undertake Annual Accessibility Audits on their respective online learning platforms I wonder how institutions do this in a most cost-effective way?

I assume there are three main option:
1. Doing it in-house, using an automated, software-based tool such as Bb Ally or others
2. Doing it in-house manually based on a 'intelligent random sampling approach' across courses and learning content
3. Getting a 3rd party consultant to undertake the audit on the institutions behalf, based on a appropriate brief.

Bearing total costs in mind (in particular staff time) what would be the best approach in your views?
Has anybody undertaken a total cost comparison?

Best wishes,

Henry
