Education

From code to creativity, discover the digital roles that are creating a lasting impact and the active part that you can play in shaping an inclusive web in your career.

Results day is fast approaching and during times where emotions are running high, the accessibility of higher education websites has never been so important.

On Friday 11 July, the HeX team will be joining Wadsworth Fields Careers Day to encourage pupils to play their part in shaping an equal online world.

Throughout our Education 4 All campaign, we’ve been raising awareness on the barriers that students face digitally due to poor accessibility. This blog focuses on the impact when digital accessibility is achieved in education.

Accessibility in university websites, specifically in tools like course finders and on degree programme web pages, is not just a buzzword, but a fundamental principle that shapes the user experience.

In this blog, we explore what barriers are preventing educational institutions from becoming accessible and some best practices they could adopt to upscale their digital accessibility.

The ‘Education 4 All’ campaign has now begun. Between 10-21 June, the awareness raising campaign strives to provide equal access to learning by removing barriers in education due to poor digital accessibility.
