Episode Synopsis

In the second episode of this run, the iTeach Online Podcast is shining a light on students and preparing them for work through schemes at the University. 
Claire Storr sits down in the studio with Rebekah Thirlwall and Vidushi Rijuta to talk about a recent Student As Change Agents (SACA) project in the Faculty of Social Sciences. The project looked at the Digital Accessibility of some learning materials across the Faculty. Students like Vidushi were employed to help improve these materials while also improving their own skills to make them more work ready. 
Rebekah and Vidushi along with Gaia Tracey and Sana Javed spoke about this project at the Digital Accessibility Conference in June 2024. You can watch the recording of their paper on the Conference webpages. Their session was in Room 3 at 10am.
