In the past, the JISC TechDis Service has provided Senior Managers within all UK post 16 Colleges a series of briefing packs on a number of technology, disability and inclusion related issues.
The briefing packs covered provide support in the form of advice, guidance and practical resources from JISC TechDis and our key partners, in order to assist Colleges understanding of issues relating to the ‘Disability Equality Duty’. A key feature of the packs is to improve accessible teaching and learning practices.
In order to support UK post-16 Colleges JISC TechDis has targeted specific information towards different roles within the Colleges. Senior Management has received information on all the resources disseminated within a College.
