Digital Recording Policy

The Digital Education Recording Policy aims to support College staff to facilitate the practical and responsible recording of lectures, providing students with a high-quality educational experience. The policy also aims to provide clarity on the rights and responsibilities of the College, its staff and its students, external visiting lecturers and any other participants in recorded teaching.

Guidance notes and Policy

Blackboard Ally - new accessibility tool in Blackboard

Blackboard Ally focuses on making digital content in Blackboard Learn more accessible for all staff and students. It assesses the accessibility of content and provides a report with guidance for instructors to improve course accessibility.

Blackboard Ally also converts course materials into alternative formats, allowing students to choose which format is most appropriate for them to access. For example, an HTML version for improved reading on mobile phones, electronic braille, or an MP3 for an audio version.

Windows Virtual Desktop

Windows Virtual Desktop is a Microsoft Cloud service that allows College to create 'Cloud computers' that both students and staff can access using their personal device and an internet connection.
