OxTalks is Changing
Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Digital accessibility: Blackboard Ally in practice
This session will be held online via Teams
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.
