Education Accessibility

Explore the world of online accessibility through a wide range of resources to support your journey in providing inclusive experiences online.

Students Encounter Digital Barriers when Learning Online

Some students are disadvantaged in an online environment because the information on websites is not as easy to digest as it would be in a normal classroom or lecture environment.

It is not as straightforward as simply converting materials, lectures, and lesson plans into a digital structure. Different learning styles and different abilities must be accounted for. To support the 330,000 higher education students who identify as having a disability, online education must take into account different learning styles.

Why you Should Provide Online Support for Students

Equal Opportunities

Not everyone learns the same way. Digital materials must account for varying learning styles and abilities, and be inclusive of everyone.

Additional Income

By welcoming and supporting international students with linguistic support, colleges and universities stand to gain more in tuition fees and government funding.

Diversity and Culture

Being able to support diverse learners means you can attract the best students, develop a diverse and inclusive campus, and enrich the learning environment for everyone.

Let us show you how easy it can be.

Millions of educational webpages made accessible through the use of assistive technology

Every stage of education should be inclusive. Today’s students are the workforce of tomorrow, but not everyone learns the same way. Students of all ages need assistive technology to account for varying abilities, learning styles, and online access barriers.

Recite Me can help you provide your students with the skills, training, and knowledge they need to succeed.

“Individuals are no longer limited to how they can access and process our information – we have ensured that the content is easy to process for anyone. One size does not fit all, so neither should their experience when visiting the Foothills website. Recite Me has enabled folks to access information in the best way that works for 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.”

“The University of London is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible experience, regardless of how our audiences and stakeholders wish to engage with us – this is just as important in an online capacity. Recite Me is an excellent way for us to be able to provide additional online tools and services for those visiting our website and increase the level of accessibility quickly and easily. In addition, we have adopted the accessibility toolbar on its intranet and jobs website to ensure that more people can access and modify the content in a way that makes it more useful and usable. These initiatives are examples of the measures we are taking to ensure that we are promoting inclusive academic practices.”

“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.”
