The Skills for Access team

The project is a joint venture between professional media and e-learning producers - The Learning Development and Media Unit (LDMU) at the University of Sheffield - and experts in accessibility, usability and digital media development - the Digital Media Access Group (DMAG) at the University of Dundee. With this combination of skills and experiences, we aim to ensure that the advice we offer is authoritative yet conscious of the pressures and competing objectives of the real world. In all our advice, we promote a pragmatic approach to multimedia for accessible e-learning
