In their book “A Web for Everyone”, Sarah Horton and Whitney Quesenbery describe a social view of disability “Disability is a conflict between someone’s functional capability and the world we have constructed… it’s the product that creates the barrier, not the person, just as design is at fault when a site has poor usability.”
Gavin Henrick hosted this session and explored how we create barriers to users within our VLEs, courses and activities, through design and teaching choices and how to remove these barriers and design more inclusive teaching and learning environments. Gavin also answered a combination of pre-submitted questions and questions from the attendees.
