Accessibility in e-assessment

At the UKCLE seminar on e-assessment held on 31 January 2008 Simon Ball (JISC TechDis Service) and Helen James (University of Winchester) presented a session on accessibility in e-assessment, which included the Accessibility Checklist Game.

Simon and Helen’s paper, Making law teaching accessible and inclusive, appeared in JILT 2009 (3), and the game is offered below as a downloadable learning object (LO).

The Accessibility Checklist Game

During the session participants were encouraged to consider the accessibility considerations of e-assessments in the Accessibility Checklist Game. After the seminar Simon created an ‘accessible learning object’ (ALO) based on the game, using the Xerte Learning Object Development Tool and a TechDis template. Freely available, Xerte is designed to enable academic staff to create learning objects easily, without much prior knowledge of accessibility or learning objects.

Download the Accessibility Checklist Game – available below. Note: learning objects produced with Xerte run in a Flash player, so to view the game you will need to have Flash installed on your computer.
