Vocational education provider in Victoria Australia, GOTAFE, is supporting students and community accessibility needs by providing assistive technology tools on their website and Learning Management System – goLearn.
The range of Recite Me tools available on the GOTAFE website and Learning Management System allows visitors and students to customise their digital experience, choosing from a selection of tools including screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customisable styling options and an on-demand live translation feature capable of interpreting over 100 languages, including text-to-speech.
GOTAFE offer over 130 courses across eight campuses, servicing 11 government areas with an estimated population of over 240,000 people. Established in 1996, GOTAFE is leading the way in providing students from all walks of life access to a wide range of skills and education opportunities.
Diploma of Nursing Student (HLT54121) Student at GOTAFE, Belinda Pelly, said the tool has supported her in her studies and encourages other students to consider using it.
“The new features on goLearn are a great resource for students that may need that little extra support or assistance,” she said.
“The beauty of this is that it is user-friendly and very accessible.
“If you are studying something that has a ‘jargon heavy’ content, like Nursing, there are going to be things that you may never have come across before, or even heard of before.
“The dictionary feature gives a clear definition of the number of words or terms that you may see on goLearn.”
The Recite Me assistive tools on the GOTAFE website and Learning Management Student – goLearn can be used by anyone regardless of abilities.
Those with disabilities, learning difficulties, visual impairments, cognitive or neurological disorders, and those who speak English as a second language may benefit from utilising the tools available.
Over 5,000 companies currently use Recite Me, including GOTAFE and the likes of the ANUSA, the University of London and Brisbane Airport.
