We are less than two weeks away from our next digital accessibility week, taking place during the week commencing 9th November 2026.
We are pleased to share the schedule for this year’s programme. Throughout the week, we will highlight tools and resources that help everyone create and access content more inclusively, with a particular focus on Blackboard Ally. Our student drop-in sessions will show students how to download alternative formats of their learning materials, so please encourage them to come along.
