Accessibility

The SHUFFLE project presented three new Moodle courses developed within the project at this year's Bi.teach - Day for Teaching on 26th November under the title "Rethinking Exams - How do we want to learn and examine?". In future, the Moodle courses will enrich the Personnel Development Program (PEP) for Researchers and Teachers as an asynchronous training offer.

Three Moodle self-study courses on digital accessibility

The Moodle courses presented here provide teaching staff with flexible, practical and time-independent support in incorporating digital accessibility into everyday university life. All three courses are designed as self-study courses and are based on modern didactic standards. They enable participants to deal independently with key issues of digital accessibility in teaching and to further develop their skills. The courses contain the most important basics on the topics of creating accessible documents, accessible Moodle courses and accessible examinations and can be worked through independently at any time. Successful completion of an assignment in the course is confirmed by a certificate of attendance.

The asynchronous nature of the course offers significant advantages for participants. They can work on the content when it best suits their individual working day, regardless of fixed dates or synchronised events. They can also learn at their own pace, pause as required and dispense with content they already know. This creates a learning process that adapts to personal needs and prior knowledge and makes the programme more accessible to everyone.

The three Moodle courses will soon be officially listed in the PEP and will be available to all teaching staff. The Moodle courses can already be accessed via the ZAB project website. In addition, short introductory videos of all Moodle courses and their content can be found on YouTube.

The Bi.teach - Day for Teaching provided the ideal setting to visualise the new offerings. The poster session provided the opportunity to present the content and learning objectives of the courses, answer questions and engage in dialogue with representatives from various faculties.

Bi.teach has once again shown how valuable the exchange of innovative teaching formats is and how important low-threshold and flexible continuing education formats are for everyday university life. The Moodle courses as a new asynchronous learning offer can help to sustainably strengthen teaching and work processes.
