Provide Students With Inclusive Online Learning

"Here at Grey Matter Learning, we are committed to improving lives through learning. As a social care eLearning provider, we needed to ensure that our digital platform was accessible for all, so our learners could access our courses in a way that best suits their individual needs. The Recite Me assistive toolbar has helped us by providing a suite of tools to ensure that no information is gated, empowering people to learn in a way that suits them.”

“We added Recite Me to our website in 2017 and it ties all our accessibility activities together. It makes it easier for staff and students with disabilities to access our website and for people looking to join our staff team or student body. All the different functions Recite Me has, such as changing the colour background or having the content read aloud, means we are aiming to meet a broad spectrum of users' accessibility needs. I think the software in place reinforces our commitment to making the University of Liverpool an accessible learning and working environment.”

“I founded EdPlace because I was able to overcome my challenges of dyslexia in a traditional schooling system, principally because I was lucky enough to have amazing parental support. I wanted to use the huge advances in technology to foster this for many, not the lucky few. “Our integration with Recite Me is a great example of this as the toolbar ensures our platform is accessible to all. A seemingly small achievement like getting a score in a subject you thought you didn’t understand can boost confidence and help unlock a student’s huge potential. Thanks to Recite Me, we’re able to provide this experience and help each and every child succeed in their learning.”

“As London’s largest college group, working in one of the most diverse cities in the world, we wanted to ensure our mission statement of transforming lives through exceptional education and training was able to be communicated to everyone, regardless of their accessibility requirements. ReciteMe allows us to ensure our websites offer customisation, with advanced accessibility options available for all of our users, without any purchase needed on their behalf. “The software offers such a wide variety of options from changing the language for our students looking to study English, through to amending the font, colours and size of text for those with visual impairments, as well as a tool to read the text aloud. This has meant that we can meet multiple user needs quickly, with a simple code addition to each of our websites. Applicants, staff and existing students have told us how the language tool enabled them to fully understand complicated information such as fees and entry requirements by reading this in their native language, while those with visual impairments said they loved how the tool gave them different options so they had control over the way the sites looked to best suit their needs. “All in all, ReciteMe has enabled us to be flexible and give our customers the option to change our websites when necessary with no manual input, so they are less prescriptive and support the needs of our individual users.”
