WU has an accessibility working group who meet regularly and work on how the University can meet its obligations in relation to the new accessibility regulations for all of the University's digital provision.
We have provided training opportunities and resources for members of staff on how to improve the accessibility of digital content for learning, teaching and assessment.
We
have added a tool to Moodle called Anthology Ally that enables students to download
alternative formats from the VLE. It also helps to improve the accessibility of content uploaded to Moodle by prompting lecturers and other members of staff to fix accessibility issues. It also provides us with an institutional-level report and course-level reports, to help identify accessibility issues. We can then work to resolve these and to improve training and guidance for staff around the most common and most serious accessibility issues.
We
recognise that automatic captions may not always be entirely accurate. We are reviewing the options for providing more accurate captions on all videos shared via Panopto and Moodle, and will be making the case for more resource to allow for this.
