Una idea: és que has vist alguna cosa (en el pensament) que no has vist mai. #imaginació #EdTech26 La tecnologia ens permet inventar-nos al món.
Que fem?
-Descobrim regularitats.
-Imaginem futurs possibles (intrínsicament humà).
-Ideem i planifiquem processos.

Accessibility isn't a binary. It's a dependency chain.

Availability, Accessibility, Readability, Adaptability, UDL.
If the foundation isn't there, nothing above it holds.

Catch our talk in room E303 at 1:45pm.

Proud to be sponsoring #EdTech26 with our partners Catalyst IT EU.

The best platform in the world still fails learners if the content isn't accessible.

Platform + content. Infrastructure + experience.

Come talk to us.

94.8% of web pages have detectable WCAG failures.

In higher education, learning content is no different.

We're at #EdTech26 this week to talk about what institutions can actually do about it.

Find us at the booth.
