Information for Teaching Staff
What does it mean to study with a disability or chronic illness? And what can or should you as teaching staff do to enable equal participation of students in their studies? What are your limitations? Where can other university services provide better support to which you can refer? What is academic adjustment? What do you need to bear in mind, how does the application process work, and what is your role in its successful realization? The guide for teaching staff “Studying without Barriers” ("Lernen ohne Barrieren", currently in German only) addresses these and other questions and gives detailed information and tips on the subject. You can download the guide for teaching staff as a PDF file or request a hard copy at the Office for Students with Disabilities or Chronic Diseases (KIS).
Accessible Digital Teaching: Tips for Teaching Staff
In times with a corona pandemic it is a big challenge for teaching staff to switch to digital teaching. At the website of the ZMML on accessible digital teaching you will find tips how you can make the digital format accessible for students with and without impairments (currently in German only).
If you have questions regarding developing and revising accessible course materials, digital events, and websites, you are welcome to contact the BALLON team (Barrierearmes Lernen und Lehren Online - Accessibility in E-Learning and Teaching). Here you will find information and tips on how to create accessible content on your own and how to check already existing course materials concerning accessibility.
Office for Students with Disabilities or Chronic Diseases (KIS)
KIS is aimed in particular at students of the University of Bremen whose studies are impaired by a disability or disease. However, it also provides advice to university teaching staff on studying with a physical or mental impairment.
