Accessibility in e-Assessment Guidelines - Final Report

Below are links to a document entitled "Accessibility in e-Assessment Guidelines" commissioned by JISC TechDis, following consultation with the E-Assessment Group (membership listed on page 4 of the report), to examine the state of guidance for accessibility in e-assessment in the UK. The report has been produced for JISC TechDis by Edexcel who successfully tendered for the work in mid 2006. Following amendments to the final document on the recommendation of members of the E-Assessment Group, this document is now being circulated more widely. The report can be found in both Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word formats.

The purpose of this report is to stimulate debate of the issues, with the hope that some of the key stakeholders in this area might commission or fund further work to formulate the guidance that the report has established is required in the sector. While
JISC TechDis is willing, as part of its regular programme of activity, to coordinate this work in order to improve the provision of inclusive assessment in the UK, current funding models do not extend to the commissioning of a piece of work of this magnitude.

Your comments regarding the content of the report and its findings would be most welcome, as would your advice as to potential sources of funding for the production of guidance as recommended by the report.
