TechDis Staff Packs
I’ve been looking at accessibility lately, and found TechDis staff packs to be a really good source of advice and useful information. They include lots of practical solutions, and show simple techniques that can be employed very easily to make learning with technology more accessible.Each pack can also be used as the basis of a training session or incorporated into a staff development programme. Materials are on the TechDis website.
Here is what’s included…
