Resources



Our website provides access to a wealth of diverse resources that are designed to support both strategy and practice across the education, training and skills sectors. A unique feature of our materials is that they focus on making mainstream practices more inclusive.

Introduction to accessibility and inclusion

This section provides background information including definitions and legislation.

Built-in accessibility

This set of resources explores the built-in features that allow users to personalise their machines and customise the way in which they interact with them.

Accessible documents and presentations

In this area we show you how to ensure your Word documents, PDFs and PowerPoint presentations are as accessible as possible.

Old favourites

Here you will find a collection of older but still very valuable resources and tools including:

  • Accessibility Essentials 2003 - 2007
  • Accessibility Passport
  • Online Accessibility Self Evaluation Service (OASES)
  • SimDis
  • Upwardly Mobile 2008 - 2009
  • Watchwords

Please use us

We actively encourage organisations to incorporate our resources into their own training materials and simply ask that you acknowledge JISC TechDis as the original source.
