This project from Runshaw College, focused on developing the skills of staff to use assistive technology software in their everyday practice and in exam settings. The aim was to increase accessibility to the curriculum for students who struggled to read standard print, and to foster greater student independence by removing the need for human readers in examinations. A web and mobile ‘app’ aggregates all of the videos, case studies and resources used during the project into one simple-to-access package.

Read the final report to see how computer readers provide a cost-effective and scaleable solution to supporting students, particularly in exams. A zip file will be added shortly with a series of project resources.
