What is this Project?



This project involves a collaboration of four Australian universities and two South African universities as well as the not-for-profit sector and the open-source community working together to investigate strategies for improving the online learning experience of students from diverse backgrounds through inclusive design.
The project has been funded by the Australian Government's Office for Learning and Teaching, Department of Innovation and is due for completion in July 2015.
The project aims to achieve the following outcomes:
- Investigate appropriate strategies for the design of inclusive technology enhanced learning environments
- Showcase case studies of best practice across a range of disciplinary fields
- Develop inclusive design guidelines to assist academics in the design and redevelopment of their courses
- Design, develop and trial a prototype responsive learning environment, which adapts to student needs by delivering content that is personalised to meet their individual accessibility needs and learning preferences.
We welcome the participation of other higher education institutions, the not-for-profit sector and open source developers who would like to contribute their expertise or assist in trials of the guidelines and/or responsive learning system. If you would like to join the project please contact us for further information.
