Hi everyone – if you are working with adult learners (in this context anyone over 18 yrs old) and using technology in ways that support disabled learners (eg effective use of Xerte Toolkits, innovative ways of using free technology tools or helping learners make the most of free text to speech with TechDis voices etc) then put yourself forward for an Enable award – details below. It’s a relatively quick project and a good way of bringing your good practice to a wider audience and maybe winning yourself an iPad min as well!
