Welcome to Learning Labs’ new blog – here’s why it’s worth following
1st June 2018
Learning Labs’ new blog will be packed full of the latest assistive technology advice, comments on changes in DSA legislation and exclusive offers, as well as upcoming events where you can meet our team face-to-face.
Here’s a bit about Learning Labs, or if you are already familiar, you can skip down to some of the events and sector campaigns we are supporting in the coming weeks, which we hope you will join us on.
What is Learning Labs?
Learning Labs is a portal that offers easy step-by-step tutorials designed to support anyone who is using assistive software.
Our learning design is based on leading theories from the world of neuroscience. This means we understand how the brain thinks and learns and have designed our tutorials specifically to support individuals with additional learning needs.
Read, Watch and Do the Labs
The tutorials, or ‘labs,’ are designed in three formats to either read, watch or do – so you can read the text guide, watch a video guide and practice an interactive ‘do’ guide.
These bite-sized tutorials break down every feature of an assistive software program, making it easy to learn, practice and revise all of the different software functionality.
We regularly update our labs to reflect launches of the latest assistive software. These are automatically dropped into the portal when they go live.
Three reasons to check back on the blog
