Additionally, an accessible digital document can be transformed into a format that is suitable for variety of reading devices.

Le principal avantage d'un document numérique inclusif est sa capacité à être compris par les personnes qui rencontrent des difficultés avec les documents imprimés traditionnels. Un tel document peut être interprété par différents moyens tels que le texte agrandi, la lecture audio ou la représentation en braille. Ces différents formats sont accessibles à l'aide d'appareils tels que les smartphones, les ordinateurs, les lecteurs MP3, les lecteurs DAISY ou les afficheurs braille actualisables. En outre, un document numérique accessible peut être transformé en un format adapté à divers appareils de lecture.

En tant qu'éducateurs, il est impératif de veiller à ce que tous les élèves aient des chances égales de démontrer leurs connaissances et leurs compétences, y compris ceux qui ont des déficiences visuelles telles que la cécité et la basse vision. La création d'examens et de devoirs accessibles est essentielle pour aider ces étudiants à mettre en valeur efficacement leurs capacités. Pour aider ces élèves à naviguer dans les évaluations, vous trouverez ci-dessous quelques conseils à l'intention des enseignants.

Pourquoi se soucier de l'accessibilité de l'information ?
Les personnes handicapées peuvent rencontrer des difficultés pour lire les documents que vous avez créés. De nombreux documents contiennent des obstacles cachés qui peuvent parfois empêcher ou restreindre l'accès aux utilisateurs handicapés, en particulier aux personnes aveugles, malvoyantes, daltoniennes, souffrant de troubles de la lecture et de certaines déficiences motrices.
Les personnes handicapées utilisent les documents numériques de différentes manières. Certaines d'entre elles peuvent vouloir les faire lire à haute voix à l'aide d'un logiciel de synthèse vocale, ou les lire sur des dispositifs de braille actualisable, tandis que d'autres peuvent vouloir grossir le texte et changer la couleur du premier plan et de l'arrière-plan pour l'adapter à leur déficience visuelle. Certains de vos lecteurs peuvent utiliser le clavier pour naviguer dans vos documents, tandis que d'autres peuvent utiliser le toucher, des commandes vocales, une souris modifiée, un stylet de tête ou même la technologie de suivi des yeux.

This is a unit of study whose competency is to locate necessary resources that help to acquire additional subject matter and pedagogical knowledge for professional development. The objectives are: identify relevant resources for professional development and collaborative teacher networks. Discuss the advantages of collaborative networks and participate in collaborative teacher networks.

The aim of this unit is that upon completion, teachers will be able to locate and use resources that help to provide professional development opportunities.

This course has been developed to support the training of teachers to integrate ICT into their teaching practices. The materials, guides and activities are strongly aligned with the UNESCO ICT Competency Framework for Teachers (CFT).
While the course embraces the role ICT can bring to the classroom it is also not held prisoner by the need for high end or sophisticated technology platforms. The course can be deployed in areas of limited or no connectivity via CD ROM or memory stick as most of the resources have been previously downloaded and collected. There are also web and paper based versions of the lessons and guides.
This course uses materials that are Open Education Resources (OER) or free to use for educational purposes, allowing the use and distribution, and in some instances the repurposing of the materials, at no additional cost. (See the Open License tab for more information).
But most importantly we hope the lessons are fun and engaging enough to introduce new possibilities and refresh the participant's passion for teaching and learning.

The latest version of the UNESCI ICT Competency Framework for Teachers published in 2018

UNESCO’s Framework emphasizes that it is not enough for teachers to have ICT competencies and be able to teach them to their students. Teachers need to be able to help the students become collaborative, problemsolving, creative learners through using ICT so they will be eff ective citizens and members of the workforce. The Framework therefore addresses all aspects of a teacher’s work:

Understanding ICT in Education
Curriculum and Assessment
Pedagogy
ICT
Organisation & Administration
Teacher Professional Learing

The Framework is arranged in three diff erent approaches to teaching (three successive stages of a teacher’s development). The first is Technology Literacy, enabling students to use ICT in order to learn more effi ciently. The second is Knowledge Deepening, enabling students to acquire in-depth knowledge of their school subjects and apply it to complex, real-world problems. The third is Knowledge Creation, enabling students, citizens and the workforce they become, to create the new knowledge required for more harmonious, fulfi lling and prosperous societies.
