You are cordially invited to attend the Joint CETIS-TechDis Accessibility
SIG (Special Interest Group) and CETIS Pedagogy Forum Meeting. The
meeting will have the theme of "Accessibility and Pedagogy" and will be
held at the University of Wales Bangor on Monday 23rd May 2005 in North
Wales. There is no charge for attending and lunch will be provided.
The agenda will include:

Learning Materials) - Pete Rainger, Key2Access Ltd.
How to develop an inclusive approach to the design, development and
adaptation of e-learning and printed learning materials.

students is supported through the application of e-learning standards.
* Pedagogy Before Technology - Adrian Higginbotham, BECTA.

in the pedagogy. Examples of inclusive design will also be given.

Staffordshire University.
Details to be confirmed but may cover examples of best practice, case
