FOR TEACHERS
A Systematic Literature Review
This report presents a systematic literature review on making Computer Science education more accessible for blind and visually impaired students in higher education. It examines barriers, existing technologies, and teaching approaches across multiple domains, including programming, data visualisation, networking, and assistive technologies. The findings highlight current challenges, evaluate available solutions, and provide recommendations for improving accessibility in Computer Science curricula.
FOR TEACHERS
Inclusive Computer Science
This report provides practical guidance for Higher Education educators on creating accessible and inclusive Computer Science learning environments for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. It combines insights from academic interviews and research to highlight key challenges and solutions, offering strategies, tools, and best practices to improve teaching, communication, and support systems, and to promote equal opportunities and student success.
FOR INSTITUTIONS
Barriers, Support and Inclusive Practices in Austria, Ireland and Slovenia
This report explores how Higher Education can better support blind and visually impaired students in Computer Science by examining barriers, support systems, and inclusive practices across different countries. It combines research, institutional analysis, and interviews to identify key challenges—such as inaccessible technologies and limited training—and provides practical strategies to improve accessibility, teaching, and student support.
FOR INSTITUTIONS
Inclusive Computer Science
This report examines how Higher Education institutions in Austria, Slovenia, and Italy support students with hearing impairments in Computer Science education. Through the analysis of legal frameworks, institutional practices, assistive technologies, and pedagogical approaches, it identifies the main barriers affecting accessibility and inclusion within highly technical learning environments. The report also highlights existing good practices and proposes strategic recommendations aimed at strengthening institutional readiness, improving accessible teaching and learning, and promoting more inclusive higher education systems for students with sensory disabilities.
