Project

Volume: € 3,281,559.65

Project duration: 01.08.2021 until 31.12.2025

Funded by: Stiftung für Innovation in der Hochschule

SHUFFLE is a joint project funded by the Foundation for Innovation in University Teaching. Bielefeld University, Stuttgart Media University and the Heidelberg and Freiburg Universities of Education are working together to develop a package of measures to enable equal opportunities for everyone to participate in digital teaching.

In developing the results, SHUFFLE follows the concept of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to provide accessible learning materials and environments for all students. Teaching staff and students are involved in a participatory manner and all results are made permanently available as open source solutions to improve digital accessibility at universities.

The work of the ZAB in the project

The ZAB team works centrally on the following tasks:

Supporting teaching staff in the creation of accessible learning materials and digital examinations
Development of guidelines for the implementation of digital accessibility at universities
Analysing the accessibility of Moodle and developing a sample course as a template for teaching staff
Supplementing a maturity model for analysing, measuring and evaluating digital accessibility at universities with concrete recommendations for action and good practice examples
Development and implementation of a needs analysis of students and teaching staff through interviews and surveys

Further information on the SHUFFLE project can be found on the SHUFFLE homepage.

ACCESS

As part of the SHUFFLE project, the prototype of a testing tool for testing learning management systems for accessibility was developed.

This took place as part of a student project in which a total of 10 teams consisting of 8-12 students took part and competed against each other in the development of the tool.

Based on this prototype, the DACHS project was subsequently initialised, which used the findings to develop a portal for digital accessibility.

Handouts
