SUMMARY:Accessibility and Blended Learning Conference
DESCRIPTION:Book here   \nRegistration is open until 12pm on Wednesday 23rd March. \n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n\nThis conference invites students and staff to engage in conversations about how blended learning impacts access to teaching and learning. \nThe aim is to gain a greater understanding of both the advantages and barriers of blended learning for disabled and neurodivergent students. \nAs part of the conference\, we will be hosting a panel with students and university staff exploring the experiences of disabled students with blended learning. This will be followed by a workshop focused on developing inclusive and accessible assessment. During the conference we will explore the nuances and differing experiences of accessibility\, centre students’ personal experiences and raise awareness at the university about barriers to accessibility and the steps that can be made to support disabled students throughout their academic journey.
