Accessibility @ ETHZ
The probably most important prerequisite for achieving accessible teaching at ETH Zürich is the fullest possible availability of accessible digital teaching materials, content and platforms. Keep up to date on achievements and progress here.
The majority of the current measures for the sustainable introduction of accessible teaching at ETH are embedded in the university-wide programme "Hindernisfreie ETH". Sub-project 13 "Barrierefreie Lehrmittel erstellen” (Creating accessible teaching materials), under the direction of Lehrentwicklung und -technologie (LET), is specifically dedicated to accessible teaching.
Accessible teaching at ETH Zurich
The mission of the sub-project is to sustainably ensure accessible teaching at ETH Zurich through digital means (e-accessibility) and thus to promote the inclusion and participation opportunities of people with disabilities (e-inclusion).
A prerequisite for this, in turn, is that any learning content is available digitally in the first place.
Our approach - our strategy
To achieve the goal of comprehensive accessible teaching at ETH, we are following a three-step strategy: raising awareness of the topic among all ETH members, providing support for ETH members involved in the creation and provision of learning materials, and directly ensuring the accessibility of the digital teaching infrastructure.
The ETHZ in international comparison
In an international comparison with American universities, ETH 2021 is still at the very beginning as far as accessible teaching is concerned.
In Europe, however, ETHZ has a great opportunity to take on a pioneering role and to set itself apart from other universities. Let us seize this opportunity together and use it successfully.
