Accessibility

We aim to make sure all our materials are accessible by all students.  We have adopted a number of good practices to aid this (and general provision) as listed below (see https://elearningyork.wordpress.com/learning-design-and-development/technology-enhanced-learning-handbook/1-baseline-use-of-the-vle/1-2-key-accessibility-guidelines/ for extra guidance)

  • Advance provision of lecture and seminar materials via the VLE 
  • All our undergraduate assessed coursework is via online submission.
  • Where available we encourage staff to provide links or references to digitised versions (pdfs) of texts and textbooks
  • All our teaching sessions are recorded and provided with the teaching materials. 
  • Each module has an online forum, monitored by the teaching staff
  • Our sites are based around the same template and should provide a clear and consistent navigational structure.
  • Clear and unambiguous text on pages
  • Clear and meaningful names for hyper inks to resources and uploaded files
  • Addition descriptive information (either textual or soundtrack) for visual resources (images, graphs, videos etc)

Contact:

The department takes accessibility issues seriously and we are always keen to improve and solve any outstanding problems that maybe encountered.  If students do have specific requests and or issues accessing materials or require further support they should contact ################ (PAUL - DO WE we want this to be a central person - like Louise or Academic staff member/role or the INFORMATION PROVIDER ?) to discuss what can be provided to aid learning.
