The Glenlead Centre and Jisc have joined forces to deliver a project called Accessible Digital Futures (ADF): Unlocking the potential for Accessible Digital and AI technologies in Higher Education (HE).
The project will convene multi-stakeholder conversations on the opportunities for the UK tech sector to be a leading innovator of accessible digital and AI technologies to HE nationally and globally, and how the UK HE sector can be at the forefront of the accessible digital and AI transformation.
New digital and AI technologies are radically transforming all facets of society, including HE where they can proffer greater inclusiveness and productivity through accessibility. They can enable more students and staff to have a more profound educational experience, in new and innovative ways. The project will discuss how technology that enables independence and is usable by all will be best placed, long term, to meet the changing needs of populations at home and overseas.
We believe that accessible technology solutions have the potential to be more than an after-thought or an after-the-fact bolt-on merely to satisfy a legal requirement. Done right, the development and adoption of accessible digital and AI technologies would boost Britain’s productivity, promote its technology industry, and ensure that the UK continues to be one of the most attractive places to study in the world.
