Time for digital inclusion at scale

 Transcript- anything about the suggestion of the simple approach working https://youtu.be/ZuFZZCkLvLM?si=hXGzpQ-FNMR6r-X9 Future teacher video transcript - Thrives. No academic research to review effectiveness, it echoes the body of literature of anecdotal evidence rather than empirical data.  Citing YouTube videos: https://don.libguides.com/c.php?g=658927&p=4651439#:~:text=The%20following%20format%20should%20be,of%20Platform%20%5BOnline%20Video%5D. Stakeholder letter ideas:  Benefits of participating Having teachers participate in this research offers an ideal opportunity for them to upskill in the creation of more inclusive digital materials. There is also the added potential of those who are involved throughout all phases of the research to develop from the experience as key assets and future champions in digital accessibility within your Multi Academy Trust.  Beyond the research and for longer-term benefits across the Trust, these trained champions could all...

 Beyond the data that will drive the content for the staff CPD content, the decisions about how and what to create it in have been considered. As a project team we’ve shared and demonstrated existing resources to be able to choose what is most appropriate in our own university contexts. We needed to find a tool or platform that was robust and flexible enough for us to create a resource that could be made available for others to use, but also facilitate demonstrating good practice of UDL. We needed to be able to present content in multiple ways, consider a clean, easy to follow and consistent clear to follow layout that is responsive to learners choice of device, therefore had a responsive and flexible design that offers a range of features and multiple ways to present content and engage teachers as learners. We are currently experimenting with Articulate 360’s RISE There is comprehensive guidance to support a build that is accessible so we can share as widely as possible to meet in...

  ##Notes### Questions to participants prior to interviews to prevent my bias creeping in during our conversation and allow them to prepare. Co-production - levels out the power balances between researcher and participants. With and alongside. Underpinned by the arguments posed by the social model of disability and framed by the philosophy of inclusive design. https://www.designsociety.org/download-publication/25736/a_framework_for_analytical_inclusive_design_evaluation#:~:text=Inclusive%20design%20is%20a%20design,of%20older%20and%20disabled%20populations.

  https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/13/9/867 Great to inform the literature review section on related UDL knowledge and inclusive everyday practices.  Sits under umbrella as part of UDL. What is UDL, why it’s relevant to explore teachers knowledge in this area for this study. Teachers knowledge and awareness of inclusive practices within their own application context as a baseline to be able to teach basic digital accessibility. What does the literature say, how extensive in school setting, training strategies or ad- hoc? Summarise some of the key papers and points, with others who echo the sentiments. Why it’s suggested this is the situation and how that impacts my study. Compare this to knowledge of digital accessibility. Draw conclusions from this and cross reference with conclusions about digital accessibility knowledge and what that means for this study and the type of activities I would need to explore for the initial training and intervention lessons. E.g. keep it to simpl...
