JISC Digital Media has published a new advice document titled Basic Guide to Accessibility.

Not surprisingly, this guide looks at the issue of accessibility, including the concept of ‘reasonable adjustment.' The advantages of digital media for accessibility are discussed, followed by sets of guidelines and a basic accessibility check that can be performed on existing documents.

Note that this document is intended as a very basic introduction to the subject of accessibility. This vast subject is dealt with in depth by our sister service JISC TechDis. Pointers to various TechDis resources appear throughout our document: they should be considered a stepping-off point for exploration of the wealth of material TechDis supplies.

Read our Basic Guide to Accessibility.
