Inclusive Provision at Å·ÃÀÐÔ°®Æ¬:
Lecture capture
Panopto lecture capture is available in all large teaching rooms. It provides an excellent opportunity to reduce or overcome barriers faced by many students, including disabled students, particularly in traditional-style lectures.
Teaching staff at Å·ÃÀÐÔ°®Æ¬ are requested that when using Panopto, as a minimum the audio of a lecture should be recorded and PowerPoint screens captured. Slides should conform to the University’s clear print guidelines and delivery should be paced appropriately.
Where teaching styles do not lend themselves to Panopto, teaching staff are requested to implement equivalent strategies for lectures and seminars. These might include:
- Key questions, outlines of sessions or PowerPoint slides made available at least 24 hours in advance of the class, wherever possible.
- Key words, and formulae where appropriate, provided (or the student directed to appropriate supporting texts/reading material) at least 24 hours before the class, wherever possible.
- Ensuring optimal layout of the learning space and seating arrangements where possible in smaller group teaching (e.g. to facilitate a student who is reliant upon lip-reading).
- Clear guidance to sources of additional/supplementary information, which students can use as the basis for further study.
Assistive Technology Software
We currently have TextHelp Read and Write and Inspiration 9 installed on open access machines. However, this package is only available for student use on campus.
Personal Learning Support Plan (PLSP)
A student’s PLSP will indicate reasonable adjustments for students known to Disability Services. Further information can be found at:/regulations/codes/code11.php and
