Jisc TechDis
From 2 January 2015, our accessibility and inclusion function, and all member-facing teams including Jisc TechDis, were brought in house.
We continue to offer a range of advice, guidance and training on all aspects of accessibility and inclusion.
Current support available for Jisc members
- Our “accessibility snapshot” looks at the student experience in relation to an organisation’s website, prospectus, learning platform, e-book platforms and assistive technology
- Our dedicated accessibility and inclusion blog explores a wide range of contemporary accessibility themes
- Our accessibility and inclusion guides include disability-specific, technology-specific and role-related guidance
Subject specialists
Our accessibility and inclusion subject specialists provide a range of services including online training, policy reviews, staff development in inclusive practice and support for steering groups.
Our subject specialists support and represent members regionally and nationally in a range of contexts such as working with library communities, publishers and aggregators, assistive technologists, learning technologists and awarding bodies.
Account manager support
A nominated account manager, backed by our team of subject specialists, will operate locally to you and provide you with a fully-managed relationship, ensuring that you benefit from our full offer.
For more information on accessibility and inclusion, or any other subject support, email help@jisc.ac.uk.
Where can I find original TechDis resources?
Many of the resources can now be found in the guides section of the Jisc website.
