- To create a practical, step-by-step resource that guides lecturers through setting up online teaching sessions that are accessible to a wide range of students.
- To create guidelines of considerations that can help lecturers to make their teaching scheduling and practice more inclusive.
Target Groups:
- Higher Education lecturers -who are the main beneficiaries of project’s repository of online tools and guidelines on accessibility and inclusion.

- Support service providers- who will also be able to us the project’s repository of online tools and guidelines on accessibility and inclusion to support education institutions to become more inclusive.
- HE professionals and administrators.
