Built-in access

Event details

Date:

Wednesday 21 October 2026

Time:

1:00pm–3:30pm

Location:

Zoom
This event is for all staff interested in developing their Assistive Technology knowledge and skills. You do not need to be a Natspec member to attend

Computers, tablets and phones have a wealth of accessibility options already built into the operating systems. In addition Office 365, Google Classrooms and web browsers have many features to enable access.

All teaching and learning support staff should have an awareness of these features so they can remove barriers for learners. This session will:

  • show how to enable these features to ensure learners have the access they need.
  • discuss which settings which may support learners with particular impairments.
  • allow time to trial the options for yourself (subject to organisations having sufficient computers/tablets)
  • demonstrate solutions if the built-in settings are not sufficient.
  • discuss the accessibility advantages of learners choosing which platform they use.

Cost

The below cost is for each attendee. All attendees need to register separately.

  • Natspec and Karten members £85 +VAT
  • Affiliates £110 +VAT
  • Non-members £135 +VAT

Your invoice will be sent immediately after you register successfully.
