New Webinar series
TechAbility’s new webinar series is curated by digital accessibility and education specialist, Lisa Featherstone. The series launches in May with a discussion based around how technology can be used for learning. This session features some important questions to consider before introducing technologies to people who may require them for support. The June webinar then gives you a chance to consider those questions, looking at a specific technology – Assistiv.

Technology – where is the learning? 20 May 12:30
The question I always ask when faced with a technology (old or new) is ‘how can I use that for learning?’ Lots of techie people tell you about the features that a technology has. The important question for teaching staff is – where is the learning?
What are the questions that you need to ask before introducing a technology to learners? The learners in question will also include yourselves – and me! We will discuss learners creating their own content – as well as some tools to help them in the process.
This is the first in a series of webinars looking at a variety of technologies, some well-established, others more recent. In addition to answering some of the questions above, this webinar will take a short journey through some technologies that we will be looking at in future.
