Re: Introductory MOOC on digital accessibility starting Oct. 17 on FutureLearn

Hi Gottfried, all

Thanks for sharing this information, much appreciated.

This is a good time to share a reminder that this group is very much still active, but the last few weeks have been extremely busy for the group chairs, so activity has been quiet. Towards the end of this month, we’ll share an update of where the two work streams are in terms of completed activities and next steps, and identify areas where group members can pitch in with help.
