Abstract
This short video outlines a ‘proposal for change’ which was developed during enrolment of the Staff and Educational Development Association (SEDA) ‘Leading Programmes’ course. This proposal highlights and suggests areas of an anatomy course that could be developed to enhance student experiences, as well as helping and encouraging educators to consider approaches to module accessibility. For example, the ‘Gaps and Pressures Analysis’ by the University has made note that the diversity of students on campus is becoming more
apparent. This diversity of student should be celebrated and embraced. It can help shape change and reform in policies and approaches to teaching. For example, with regard to laboratory-based science practical classes, there is a perception that visually impaired students may not be able to access these easily. However, there is evidence in the literature of effective ways of making changes to laboratory-based subjects that allow visually impaired students to take part and achieve the Learning Outcomes of the course (Sozbilir, 2016).
