Production
The Rix Centre provides both online and offline multimedia production services for clients working with the learning disability community. This includes:
- Web Production
- Software development
- Offline media production
- Information and support
We have an experienced production team that will design and build bespoke products in partnership with customers and users to create the best possible solutions. We can provide consultancy for developers and commissioners of all sorts of new media, as well as user testing and training for users with learning disabilities and staff to ensure that you get the best from our products.
The Rix Centre’s web production services:
- provide bespoke and ‘off the peg’ accessible websites to target and include users with learning disabilities
- address Web Accessibility Standards and comply with Disability Discrimination Act compliance.
- deliver ‘corporate’ Websites with state of the art Content Management Systems (CMS) for easy moderation and maintenance by clients
- design sites combining professional online communication with various inclusive features for the audience with learning disabilities
- create participant Websites that enable users with learning disabilities to generate their own web content
The Rix Centre’s software development has specialised in the development of E Folios to enable the storage, retrieval and display of user-generated content by people with learning disabilities. E Folios can do so much more for people with learning disabilities than simply provide them with a store for their multimedia assets. At the Rix Centre we have developed their application to assist in a range of different aspects of the day to day lives of people with learning disabilities including; assisting communication, recording achievement, making ‘person-centred plans’, self-advocacy and social networking.
The Rix Centre’s offline media production services include video and DVD production, audio and display media for any situation. Our team will script and produce complete multimedia packages or single components applying our specialist skills in providing for the learning disability audience and engaging them as the work is undertaken to ensure best possible inclusion and accessibility.
The Rix Centre provides information and support online about multimedia production for people with learning disabilities through our practitioner’s website, The Big Tree. This site has been developed by the Rix Centre as an online home for everyone involved with the use of ICT and multimedia with the learning disability community. This large Website presents guidance material, instruction, review and commentary in a format that is accessible for users with learning disabilities with easy-read text and rich media, alongside more in-depth material for those wanting to read more. The Big Tree’s Research section describes recent developments in the multimedia and learning disability field from the Centre and our partners. The ‘Lundin Learning Zone’ section houses our growing repository of learning materials developed for people with learning disabilities to use.
