Who should attend

Anyone interested in exploring different ways that technology can help remove barriers for learners with sight loss.

Summary

According to the RNIB, over two million people are living with sight loss today in the UK.  A significant number aren’t registered as blind, but say their sight loss is severe enough to affect their everyday lives. People’s needs will vary depending on the nature and severity of their visual impairment. Increasing levels of sight loss generally lead to added challenges in accessing educational resources.

Does technology hold the key? If so, what can we do to help learners exploit technology to support their learning?  This webinar will explore a range of approaches that can help support students with sight loss. 

Aims

By the end of this webinar participants will have:

• Have a better understanding of unintended barriers that present challenges for learners with low/no vision
• Explored a range of technology solutions.
