This accessibility statement applies to Learning and Teaching Academy Google site:  https://sites.google.com/myskills.cityofglasgowcollege.ac.uk/learningandteachingacademy

The Learning and Teaching Academy (LTA) Google Site is used to share learning and teaching resources with staff and students at City of Glasgow College. The website is administered and maintained by the Learning Technologies team. Many training materials are authored by Libraries, Learning Technologies, and Lecture Developments teams in the College.  

We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. Therefore, it is important we prioritise accessibility in the design of all areas of this Google Site. For example, this means users can: 

• Change colours, contrast levels and fonts 

• zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen 

• navigate most of the website using just a keyboard 

• navigate most of the website using speech recognition software 

• listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver) 

We’ve also made the text in the LTA Google Site as simple as possible to understand. 

AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.
