University of Northampton finishes 28th in a World Wide Competition to improve accessibility

On the 21^st May as part of Global Accessibility Day, Charlotte Dann and Jean Edwards took up the challenge to improve the accessibility of their NILE sites using the Ally tool.

The challenge involved using the Ally module accessibility reports (https://askus.northampton.ac.uk/Learntech/faq/189667) to incrementally make changes to their course which would make their course more accessible and ultimately make their courses more accessible to students. The intrepid tutors worked during the day to make the necessary changes and improve Northampton’s score on the global league table:

By the end of the day, Northampton finished 28^th in the World (3^rd in Europe) for the greatest improvement.

Congratulations to Charlotte and Jean.
