OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Blackboard Ally is now available as an integral part of Canvas. This session will focus on how course owners can use this tool to improve the accessibility of their courses. This practical session will cover the key accessibility issues most frequently identified by Blackboard Ally. You will learn simple, practical ways of fixing these issues and avoiding them in the future. The practical solutions will be introduced in the context of the specific needs of actual students with and without disabilities. This will allow you to prioritise accessibility.
The session is being held as part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2022. Find out more at ctl.ox.ac.uk/article/gaad-2022-thursday-19-may.
