AccessApps, the award winning collection of opensource and freeware portable applications, has been something that we at RSC Wales have been showing and talking about to learning providers for some months now. As with anything it is great when you can see how someone has taken on board an idea you have introduced and taken it forward to the benefit of others … as illustrated by June Bridgman (and many others) at Coleg Gwent.

Since June was first introduced to AccessApps, during a visit to the college from RSC Wales in December 2008,  she has worked hard to ensure that management, tutors and support staff are all aware of its potential. More importantly (IMHO) she has also been using a number of the applications to benefit her learners.

All the information, including audio comments from 3 of the college’s learners, can be found here on the AccessApps at Coleg Gwent page of the Accessibility information and resources area in our Moodle.

If there are any other Welsh learning providers who are using AccessApps with their learners or staff then please let us know.
