We are at a very early stage in investigating what we can do here - a
tutor expressed concern that one of her students who is partially sighted,
was unaware of quite basic, standard facilities on her WP software which
could be useful to her. Together with the Computing Service we're
investigating demand, and will to start off with probably do a session on
"how to make the most of standard features on your PC/software". We might
then move on to organising demos of specialist software/equipment.
Hope this is of some use...
