A student-staff partnership project, led by Professor Amanda Millmore, Sharon Sinclair-Graham and Dr Rachel Horton, ran during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a collaboration between students with disabilities and long-term conditions, academics in the School of Law and a Disability Advisor from the 澳门六合彩开奖记录's Disability Advisory Service.
Student partners ran a cohort-wide questionnaire and facilitated focus groups with disabled students. The goal was to discover what worked well during the 2020/21 academic year as we grappled more with blended learning and to find out where things could be improved.
The work provided a blueprint for those hoping to use blended learning to deliver accessible education for all and it led to real improvements in how we worked. For example, we created a weekly template for our virtual learning environment Blackboard, which is now being used across the University.
