RISE slide notes

 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 international accessibility standards, from the section 508 or ADA in the US to the UK web regulations standards and the Web content accessibility guidelines WCAG, used  by many international standards.

As a team we have the capability to test using our own processes using tools such as screen readers but use the tools our participants use to robustly test any online outputs made.

Being able to share the assets as a SCORM package on the include website also makes RISE an ideal option to explore and people who want to adopt it can easily integrate into their own virtual learning environment or learning management systems

At this stage we are exploring the package and can test any outputs or experiments to check it does in fact provide us with the type of solution we want to use to disseminate the vital outputs from the research.

These expertise as a varied team really add a valuable component across the project and to be able to flexibly explore online solutions as a joint enterprise.

As a student on the team it allows me to bring my professional and technical expertise to the project but also learn from my more senior colleagues how to interpret research data to produce robust research outputs and sustainable assets for dissemination.

The project not only offers learning between different cultures for UDL but broaden my own horizons for international collaboration and learning from more senior colleagues on processes for collaborative research design and design based research, to the wider application and implications of that online learning through lesson study.

Lit review sequence

  Sections : Background and context (set the scene/ rationale) Social model of disability The legal context for digital accessibility Conceptual perspectives for defining digital accessibility  The problem- the lack of accessible content causing barriers - the wider lack of knowledge AND  need for teaching about DA awareness (social responsibility and for social model to work) The teaching of digital accessibility   Not formally on the curriculum  Where is digital accessibility currently taught/how (uni and workplace) - then the gaps of knowledge prior to uni and the workplace - yet all are using and creating digital content already. Best approach found was to integrate it across the curriculum and reinforce - needs to be taught earlier in schools and then built upon - no papers in school apart from 2 The need for the primary education context and why upper KS2 - establishing the earliest opportunity to introduce and explore the topic to then build upon Cross re...

 #Educators, do your students know what assistive technology means? From tactile maps to screen readers, #AssistiveTechnology includes a number of devices that enable and foster the inclusion of people with disabilities. The Teach Access Curriculum Repository (TACR) has various resources designed to build out your courses and introduce your students to these types of technologies.  Go to the TACR (https://lnkd.in/gWMxzk2e) and check out the presentation slide deck on assistive technology and the assignment for using a screen reader, under the Psychology section.    #BackToSchool #Accessibility #Inclusion #ScreenReader #AssistiveDevices #Psychology #Disability #Disabilities #A11y https://teachaccess.org/curriculum-repository/ Facebook research post: PhD Thesis Writing Process: A Systematic Approach—How to Write Your Introduction To download complete article, use the link: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf?f...

Notes from original proposal

Text taken from original proposal to unpack/expand: The barriers and ‘unlearning’ highlighted during SCULPT were potentially framed by prior complex  beliefs and understandings and ‘unlearning’ or ‘retrofitting’ skills (Youngblood, 2010). As Gu (2010, p.340) explains “a large part of human and professional knowledge can hardly retain its original meaning when it is divorced from the contexts in which it was constructed and produced.” This made me consider that these skills should potentially be taught at the point these original meanings are constructed and that happens at a much younger age. To understand when it would be appropriate to introduce the basics of awareness and skills in school, I considered the age when young people develop digital skills (Department for Education, 2013) as well as an understanding of what it means to be disabled and children’s perceptions for those with disabilities (Boer et al, 2012).  In a literature review Babik & Gardner (2021) found th...
