Dyslexia and work-based learning: a resource for mentors

This project aims to raise awareness about dyslexia and work-based learning. The project aims to develop a series of reusable learning objects (RLOs) (these are short interactive multimedia 'bite-sized' chunks of learning) which can be used by mentors in the work place and their students. These would be freely available to all academic departments who use work placements as part of the learning programme such as nursing education and engineering. Such a resource would complement the support already available to students in academic settings and also ensure that the legal requirements of supporting disabled students are fulfilled.
