Looking forward to presenting on day 1 of #altc23 tomorrow with @byAlisonGibson talking about our principles of Accessibility Statements UoB HEFi

Inspiring keynote from Anne-Marie Scott 'Things Cannot be made Simple' #altc23 on leading people

Matt Turner and Alison Turner on discipline specific accessibility statement principles - making statements themselves more inclusive and understandable #altc23

Principles for student facing accessibility statements developed at Uni of Birmingham include be brief, explain how content is organised, how accessible resources are provided, areas which fall short and mitigations, contact info and signposted from VLE. Template provided #altc23

What's stopping discipline specific accessibility statements... View from #altc23 participants: buy-in, time etc usual reasons. Think we need to push beyond that. Some other ideas: understanding, collaboration, ownership. These things we can make happen.

Nice to hear about a good example of academic ownership of accessibility statements at a module level from Matt Turner and Alison Gibson. Evolves into a more engaging combination of module overview and technical accessibility statement #altc23

Hearing about Liverpool's approach to their VLE review

The student panel are also talking about the importance of notifying your cohort about changes or new resources - either via the tools themselves or even an email. #altc23

We should be up front about expectations around use of tech to avoid embarrassment of students turning up with pen and paper and flagging up laptop loans where available. Transition needs to start before they join with advice on key digital skills required #altc23

Englightening observations from the #altc23 student panel. Strong voices calling for induction in digital tools to avoid the digital shock of transitioning to HE, access to democratic communication tools for peer to peer to support, less expectation on student independence...

Fantastic to hear from the student panel student panel at #altc23 and that one is an intern with Jisc and a student Uni of Birmingham hope her voice is being heard within UoB. Valuable insights
