Hi everyone

 

We know many of you are aware of our Digital Accessibility MOOC on
FutureLearn but we just wanted to remind you all that we are rerunning the
course - https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/digital-accessibility/
<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.futu
relearn.com%2Fcourses%2Fdigital-accessibility%2F&data=01%7C01%7Cead%40ECS.SO
TON.AC.UK%7C4cb81044423f4c6672c108d62cf69283%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada
9d8%7C1&sdata=GzHFjW9rLH1u4wUNlz7U2SwqtYU9fuDrAhBw1KkYo98%3D&reserved=0>  .
We have a week specifically on accessibility of documents and one on web
accessibility so it could be a great starting point for staff starting to
think about the regulations. As the course has been run before, all the
material is available immediately if you want to jump to those sections for
a refresher.

 

Although the course starts today, anyone can register during the next 5
weeks and still have access to the material for a further 7 weeks. So plenty
of time still to join. The online course is free and the original materials
are available as open educational resources on the MOOCAP project website
