Accessibility advice is integrated into the other guides on this site. Particularly useful pages are:

On a mac computer, you can change your screen display settings to change settings such as screen colour and contrast. This can allow you to make VLE content easier to read without going into immersive reader, and will also apply to content outside of the VLE such as downloaded powerpoint lecture slides. 

Similar settings are available on windows computers, see Change display brightness and color in Windows

To find the display settings, go into your mac system preferences, then to accessibility, then display:

From display, you can change settings such as contrast and colour tints. You can also make your pointer larger or a different colour to make it easier to see. Please note the effect of colour tints and contrast will not appear on the screenshots below.

In Google Chrome, you can customise your browser settings in order to change colours and fonts. These font settings will apply to all possible content in google.

You can choose the fonts you find easier to read. Fonts such as verdana, arial, comic sans, and helvetica are considered more dyslexia-friendly. 

You can also choose your font size.

In order to have these fonts apply to VLE content, you can use Blackboard Ally's immersive reader function. 

If you encounter an accessibility issue with any of the materials in your Learn Ultra VLE sites, Replay/Panopto videos or other online resources, please first contact your module leader to address this.

Each department also has a departmental accessibility contact who can help. Find their details on your departmental accessibility statement. This is found within each module Learn Ultra VLE site:
