DDA Update...ALERT case study

ALERT (Accessibility in Learning Environments and Related Technologies) is a two-year HEFCE funded project under the Strand 2 initiative for ‘Improving Provision for Disabled Students’. The project is run jointly by the Universities of Durham and Bournemouth and is also supported by the NDT (National Disability Team). A series of themed guidelines have been developed from case studies with staff and disabled students. These guidelines are aimed towards use by academic and student support staff such as learning technologists and disability support staff and are scheduled to be completed by July 2005.
