Now that awarding bodies are expected to provide exam papers in digital formats to learners with print impairments there are potential benefits for both print impaired learners and the learning provider themselves. However exam papers in digital format do not automatically bring benefits unless the learner knows how to make the most of the accessibility opportunities they provide. Jisc has a recent blog post on how to “Take advantage of digital exam formats for print-impaired learners” with links to specific guides for learners and for learning providers on how to make the most of the opportunities. This could be timely if you have students who have applied to take their exams in digital format this year or those who are thinking about it for next year.
