Accessibility is an ongoing issue for the use of ICT in further and higher education, as elsewhere, and our sister organisation JISC Techdis, along with the Department for Business Innovation & Skills, has launched two funding competitions for those working with and developing new approaches to assistive technologies. There is a total of £ 250,000 available for each competition, and submissions must be received by the closing date of 15 March 2011. Fuller details are available from the (all-new!) JISC Techdis website at - http://www.jisctechdis.ac.uk/techdis/news/detail/2011/SBRI.
