O akci
DIGITALEUROPE invites you to a webinar dedicated to discussing the state-of-play regarding accessibility and user-centred design of eLearning solutions and their relevance in crisis times.
In the context of the EU-funded project ACCESSIBILITECH, DIGITALEUROPE is organising an online workshop focusing on the accessibility of eLearning solutions. The European University Association survey on “Digitally enhanced learning & teaching” (EUA-Sept 2020) reports that 95% of the Higher Education Institutions opted for distance learning during the COVID crisis. According to The Economist (25th July 2020), this new scenario creates new challenges for Higher Educations institutions. In fact, their technological readiness, financial capacity and business models will require a deep assessment and a probable reshape. Moreover, if we consider the ongoing Ukrainian crisis and the wide range of uncertainties around it, it seems that in this context, teaching will have to be readapted and redesigned based on the digital learning tools and their capacity to engage with students so to be attractive and to offer valuable content.
The provision of high-quality digital learning materials and content in an effective, attractive and engaging way will happen only if the whole digital education experience is inclusive, accessible and easy to understand and use by all students, regardless of their abilities, digital readiness and cultural background.
Join this online workshop to know more about the accessibility of eLearning environments, the existing barriers, the policy context, and possible solutions that can improve the experience of students at risk of exclusion.
