2009 Workshop Accessible Learning
Workshop on the design and creation of accessible learning materials for all
The second workshop about Accessible Learning was of value to anyone producing learning or communication materials for public or internal use and explores how design for all principles should be applied and which technologies can help organisations create materials in alternative formats including mp3, Braille and daisy formats.
Workshop Rationale:
Increasingly learning requires access to technology and digital content. Whilst commercially produced materials are increasingly designed to meet individual needs, few people working in the field of education follow design for all guidelines for materials they produce for internal consumption.
This workshop was of value to anyone producing learning or communication materials for public or internal use explores how design for all principles should be applied and which technologies can help organisations create materials in alternative formats including mp3, Braille and daisy formats.
- What formats are of most use
- How to caption online video
- Layout and design – core requirements
- Rapid conversion – the solutions
- Does Copyright hinder accessibility – the value of creative commons licenses

- Identify tools and software to reduce the challenge of creating materials in alternative formats
- Consider the issues of IPR and copyright
- Share information and resources with colleagues and associates
