Abstract

In this video, Hestelle Viljoen discusses different approaches to make both learning material and assessment tasks more accessible to learners with visual impairments. She discusses practical ways to adapt learning materials, particularly visual materials (such as images and graphs) to be usable by visually-impaired learners, and discusses how to use braille and tactical elements to modify assessments and practical learning activities to make them more accessible. She discusses the use of supplementary text and physical props to accompany images and diagrams to provide alternative ways to access the desired learning activity.
