Accessibility
A reason to celebrate - publication of the DACHS portal
After a project duration of three years, the interactive portal DACHS (Digital Accessibility Checking and Simulation) is finally going online.
Teaching staff now have access to comprehensive information on designing accessible teaching. In addition to demonstrating selected barriers that can arise when using digital materials in connection with various impairments, DACHS offers prepared knowledge about studying with impairments, chronic and mental illness. Instructions and implementation aids are provided to give teaching staff a low-threshold introduction to designing accessible courses. In the "Testing" section, teaching staff can also carry out demanding tests of their LMS courses independently - both automatically and manually.
In the coming weeks, all teaching staff at Bielefeld University will receive the brochure "Barrierefreie Lehre gestalten" in the post. It summarises all relevant information about the interactive DACHS portal.
