Overview of mainstreaming of adjustments

Adjustments

As part of the University’s Accessible and Inclusive Learning Policy, a set of adjustments are now required as standard practice in courses:

  • Course outlines and reading lists shall be available at least 4 weeks before the start of the course.
  • Reading lists shall indicate priority and/or relevance.
  • Lecture outlines or PowerPoint presentation slides for lectures/seminars shall be made available to students at least 24 hours in advance of the class.
  • Key technical words and/or formulae shall be provided at least 24 hours in advance of the class.
  • Students shall be notified by email of changes to arrangements/announcements such as changes to courses/room changes/cancellations.
  • Students shall be permitted to audio record lectures, tutorials and supervision sessions using their own equipment for their own personal learning.
  • All teaching staff shall ensure that microphones are worn and used in all lectures regardless of the perceived need to wear them.

How learning technology can help

The following sections aim to provide guidance on how staff can use learning technology to help provide some of these adjustments. This includes links to sources of support, such as training.
