Project - SENDA
VLE Project | Introduction:
"Return to SENDA? Implementing accessibility for disabled students in virtual learning environments in UK further and higher education"
This study, which combines an extensive literature and web review with a survey and interviews, reveals a widespread lack of accessibility in VLE materials. The inaccessible elements are both within the VLE software itself, and within the content the institutions put into the VLEs. This lack of accessibility is shown to have a number of origins, principal amongst them:
- a lack of awareness within FE and HE about the needs of disabled students
- a lack of user-centred design processes (on the part of VLE developers and education institutions)
- a lack of knowledge of web technologies on the part of VLE content authors
- a general ‘skills gap’ in the area of instructional design, and
- a lack of strategic leadership within institutions in tackling the overall issue of inclusive learning and teaching.
A series of recommendations for ways to tackle these and other causes of inaccessible learning provision is addressed to the principal VLE stakeholder groups.

Masters Project - Design guidelines for effective e-learning materials
Masters Project - Design guidelines for effective e-learning materials
This site constitutes the ‘industrial study and research’ project submission by Paul Burt for the final stage of the ‘Design for Digital Media’ masters degree at University of Portsmouth. The site — in the form of a knowledge base which includes an extensive literature and web review, a questionnaire-based survey, a report of findings and a set of design guidelines — is intended to act as a platform for the dissemination of the research undertaken.
The full project proposal is available using the ‘project’ menu but the abstract below is intended to give an overview of the project aims by defining its parameters, boundaries and by giving clarification of the author’s interpretation of the design headings applied.

Online Articles - ITALICS
Welcome to another edition of ITALICS! The site has been slightly altered to accommodate easier perusal of our wares with our "Quick Links" which eliminates (hopefully) any unecessary browsing to get what you want.
Our current issue and book reviews are now live and just a further reminder to check out our "Call For Papers" section if you're interested in submitting material for our next issue!
Many Thanks
ITALICS
Haven't thoroughly gone through the issues yet. That is why I did not link it to Literature Review.
