This week after our own team meeting, Margaret McKay, our eAdvisor for Accessibility and Inclusion did a session with us to introduce AccessApps. This is an initiative developed by the two JISC Regional Support Centres in Scotland, in conjunction with the JISC TechDis Service. AccessApps provides a range of portable/open source technologies on a pen drive. In fact there are over 50 provided.
Some of the applications are generic tools, such as the word processing, spreadsheet and presentation alternatives. Others cater for specific needs, such as a need to view larger font sizes or different screen colours, or to control a computer without using a mouse.
Margaret McKay our eAdvisor:Access and Inclusion is providing the support to roll out the initiative in colleges. Contact us here at the RSC if you'd like to know more.
