JISC RSC YH EventsExcellence in Inclusivity: How technology can support learners with dyslexia and other disabilities

3 Mar 2009 

Mega Centre, Sheffield, South Yorkshire

This event will highlight and explore some simple ways that technology can be used by all teaching staff to reduce barriers for learners with dyslexia and other learning difficulties, and in a way that enhances the learning experience for all.

This day will not be looking at specific accessibility software or hardware, but common everyday solutions, that can be applied and embedded into mainstream teaching and learning, that can make a big difference to many learners.

Although the day makes direct reference to dyslexia, the principles used will be applicable to a wide range of disabilities and will be beneficial to all learners.

Aims of the Day:

- To explore, discuss, and showcase various examples of inclusive practice

- To look at what barriers a dyslexic learner is likely to face, and how good uses of technology can be used to remove or reduce these barriers

-To see how other providers in the region are using technology to reduce barriers to learning

Who Should Attend?

This event is for all education providers in the region and is particularly aimed at teaching staff, those responsible for learning support, and managers responsible for learning support, quality, teaching & learning or e-learning.
