The learning and teaching landscape today is inescapably digital – from PowerPoint presentations to Moodle. Some of these commonly used tools can pose barriers for certain groups of students such as disabled people. However, you don’t have to have a lot of technical knowledge to understand and apply some basic principles to improve accessibility. In this hands-on workshop, we will guide you through making documents, resources and information more accessible.

By the end of the session, participants will have applied digital accessibility principles to one (or more) of the following, using the “SCULPT” principles:

  • Word documents
  • PowerPoint files
  • LaTeX files
  • Images
