Project Status

A light infographic about the project status nowadays. ISOLearn project has three, interrelated, main outputs. First, the Handbook, containing recommendation and guidelines about implementing accessible Higher Education Initiatives focused on blind and deaf people access to courses. ISOLearn Handbook contenst are based on three sub-activities: a desk research about national regulations about access for blind and deaf people to Higher Education. Desk research was performed by project partners, focused on countries covered by the partnership: Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Slovenia. The outcomes of the research allowed the definition of a survey - targetting the students with visual and earing impairements - and an interview - targetting Higher Education institutions. Both survey and interviews submission and data analysis has finished. Now we are working on the production of the ISOLearn Handbook. Final version is scheduled for October, 2015.

Other two main outputs are: ISOLearn Quality Label, that will be released in early 2016, based on the Handbook.
