Mind the gap! Accessibility as everyday good practice, Sarah Horrigan, 2009 ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],What’s the problem? It’s much easier to make your materials accessible from the outset, so remember to check the following:  “ INCLUDE”   I = Images   Use descriptive alternative text and make sure that whatever the image is designed to convey is apparent N = Net   Put your materials online.  Whether that’s using a FirstClass forum or sending an e-mail to your students… using the Net will provide far greater access to your resources C = Clarity   Use clear, sans serif fonts - make sure your writing is readable and can be read! L = Layout Think about the way you layout materials – use white space and avoid clutter U = Useful Make sure all content is useful and has a reason to be included! D = Descriptive Ensure you describe resources, either face-to-face or online.  Description helps clarity helps accessibility! E = Experience Share experience. Whether that’s asking students what they want / need from you or finding out from others how they’ve handled specific accessibility issues.  You don’t have to be an “accessibility expert”! People like JISC TechDis ( http://www.techdis.ac.uk ) are available with education-specific advice. Small changes = BIG DIFFERENCE References: Cherim, M. (2007), Overcoming objections to accessibility, Accessites.org, http://accessites.org/site/2007/05/overcoming-objections-to-accessibility/ (Accessed 20 May 2009) DRC (2004), “The Web: Access and Inclusion for Disabled People”, http://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/publicationsandresources/Documents/Disability/web_access_and_inclusion.pdf (Accessed 20 May 2009) “ If we know accessibility is an important issue… why do we do so little about it?” Ask ourselves… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],A simple tool… But none of my students has a disability… Accessibility Myths… It’s too expensive to make change… There’s nothing wrong with my materials… It’s not my issue… It’s too complicated and I haven’t the time… My materials will look ugly… …  all of which can easily be addressed!
