Abstract

It seems logical to those of us working in higher education that students need to read for their degrees. Yet both research and practical experience indicates this isn’t so obvious to students themselves. Even when students do understand the importance of reading, they may experience challenges in engaging with it, whether through physical or learning disabilities, or time-poverty (working long hours, commuting or care responsibilities).
Collaborative research undertaken between academic and library colleagues at the University of Worcester aims to explore these challenges. It utilises a Universal Design for Learning approach to enable all students to access reading materials in a variety of formats, using audiobooks, screenreaders and other accessibility tools.
