The University of Southampton presents:

 

An Assistive Technology Conference -

>=<

Balancing the Equation

5th - 6th September 2005

Southampton

 

Accessibility for all is now at the forefront of thinking, and rapidly developing technology provides a range of opportunities to meet a diversity of needs.

Here in Southampton, as in many other HE institutions, assistive technology provision continues to expand. With the development of a new Library Learning Centre, and enhanced assistive technology workstation clusters at our various campuses, Southampton University continues to be in the forefront of development in Assistive Technology provision and Learning Support.

 

This conference comes at a time when many institutions are seeking to develop the service that they offer. It will provide a platform for Assistive Technologists and academics with an interest in the role of technology in learner support for students with disabilities or learning differences at various stages of their university experience.

 

It is an opportunity for those involved to

 

*       consider new ideas and best practice 
*       share knowledge and information 
*       extend and consolidate networks with colleagues

 

The conference is centred around three main themes:

 

*       accessing information 
*       engaging with the learning environment 
*       communicating understanding
