Creating Inclusive Education Content

Accessibility in Distance and Formal Education Process

It is essential that the distance education process, which has become widespread in our country and the world due to the COVID-19 epidemic, is planned, inclusive, and suitable for everyone.

It is foreseen that disabled students who continue their education at our university will be able to participate in schooling fully and effectively in direct proportion to the realization of improvements that will eliminate the disadvantages that may be caused by disability while planning both face-to-face and distance education processes and providing them with educational content that they can follow with appropriate supportive solutions.

On this page, created by our unit to eliminate the accessibility problems of students, resources containing methods by which our faculty members can increase the inclusiveness of the educational content they will prepare have been compiled.

In addition to this page, you can review ISTANBUL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY's EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EDUCATION DIRECTIVE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS in our instructions section on our website and make adjustments based on the relevant articles for students who require academic adaptation.

Important notice: Our unit aims to facilitate by directly contacting the relevant departments that will create or edit documents containing suggestions in line with the adaptation applications submitted by the students.

However, students did not apply to our unit; yet, to ensure that students who will be able to participate in education through adaptations can directly reach our faculty members, the "Equal Opportunities in Education for Students with Special Needs Directive" titled "Educational and Teaching Practices" section 4, paragraph 1, "a" clause, "The syllabuses applied by the faculty members can be added to the syllabus of any academic If you need adaptation, please contact me” sentence is added.” Considering the provision of the above sentence, add the above sentence to all the presentations, and similar interactive course syllabuses will be prepared in writing the language of instruction and shared orally with the students in different periods, again on the axis of the language of instruction, especially in the first lesson session following the date accessed the information on this page are recommended by our unit. Thus, even if the students did not apply to our unit; we will cooperate to reach students who can participate effectively in education with adaptations. Thank you for the sensitivity that we believe you will show on the subject.

The links on our page can be updated by evaluating the developing technology and the inclusiveness of the resources.
