Design & Visual Arts Online Lectures
A series of interactive lectures to accompany the HND design & visual arts courses.
The digital learning materials created for web and CD-Rom are to support the classroom lectures, designed to allow the content to be accessible to all students. There are text alternatives in the form of audio commentary for visually impaired students and BSL video clips for deaf support. A 'plain english' version of the text can be chosen and video clips have text transcripts. Typeface and colours are all chosen to aid legibility.
