IT Guidance on Accessibility

Lectures

• Record to allow students to repeat and review in their own time.
• If there are reasons why it can't be recorded be honest and open with students.
• Use interactive tools such as Padlet/Vevox which allow anonymous participation and a lasting record of discussions. Turn cameras on for lip reading and speak clearly for captions.
• Lecture Experience: Autistic Students (Portsmouth Uni)
• Lab Session Experience: Autistic Students (Portsmouth Uni)

Seminars

• Provide tasks and questions before the seminar to motivate online engagement and give time to prepare.
• Clear expectations of what is expected from a session or breakout room before online teaching begins.
• Do not pick on students to answer questions.
• Shorter breakout rooms are preferential.
• Use interactive tools such as Padlet/Vevox which allow anonymous participation and a lasting record of discussions.
• Turn cameras on for lip reading and speak clearly for captions.

Moodle

• Use moodle checklists to help organisation.
• Use a consistent format/template on Moodle and label content clearly.
• Ensure up-to-date content and links.
• Tell students when a new resource is added or changed.
• Use reminders for upcoming deadlines and tasks.
• Avoid walls of text- break information down.
• Be clear about time expectations for activities and reading- for e.g. if you have 'x' amount of time do 'y'.
