of items). Of the eight issues identified for this module, five were classed as major issues and three as minor issues, resulting in an overall accessibility score of this module of 70%.

As a comparison, the lowest scoring module achieved 24% for overall accessibility based on 58 documents. Again, the most commonly occurring issues, were lack of language set (67%), untagged documents (64%), and poor contrast (55%). One document within this module was a scanned PDF, but lacked optical character recognition (OCR), which was flagged as a severe issue.

Conclusion:

The educational materials provided to post-graduate students within the Discipline scored highly, meaning the material is available and accessible for a range of learner needs. This is particularly beneficial considering the post graduate programme is delivered exclusively online to facilitate international students. The lack of language set, and untagged PDFs were common issues identified for the undergraduate modules, which may have a significant impact for students who rely on screen reader software. Documents with poor contrast were also commonly identified and will affect all students’ ability to comfortably engage with the materials.
