We welcome researchers and practitioners, those with theoretical knowledge and those with expert practical knowledge; those who have encountered barriers to accessibility and those who are working to remove those barriers.
Participants who will be part of this informal workshop (evidence café ) will be split into groups to discuss an issue guided by a discussion object. The discussion object in our evidence cafe will be an accessibility analysis of an existing learning analytics tool. This will be used to prompt discussions about both technical and pedagogic approaches to accessibility, as well as the barriers faced by disabled students and educators, and the associated challenges faced by those who design and research learning analytics.
The workshop seeks to have 3 groups of 5 attendees maximum so that it will be possible to facilitate online discussions.
If you would like to participate, express your interest no later than March 22, 2021, by contacting Tina Papathoma at tina.papathoma@open.ac.uk , stating your role and how accessibility relates to your work.
