Quite an eye opener, lots of things I didn't know popped up as we as many which I did.  Mindmapped for later perusal  

  • How would you define ‘accessibility’?

The right of all individuals to be able to use the same materials, or partake in the same activity.

  • Who do you think is responsible for accessibility?

Everyone, designers of courses in this context but also curriculum designers.

  • What do you understand by accessibility in an educational context?

Materials and activity suited to everyones needs and abilities.

  • What do you understand by accessibility in the context of online learning?

Materials being accessible by anyone with learning, physical or mental needs.

  • Why is accessibility a concern today in your context or country?

We nod to it and adapt materials to suit learners with different needs instead of ensuring that all materials are fully accessible to all learners.
