Seminars & Workshops
The Rix Centre offers ‘one-off’ seminars and workshops to introduce the use of multimedia and ICT with people with learning disabilities to all sorts of audiences. We run Seminars with presentations to illustrate different ways of working and their benefits for both service-users and service provider organisations. Some of these are tailored for those in education, others focus on social care applications and some are creative and recreational in their approach.
Workshops are particularly valuable for hands-on experience of various uses of new technology with people with learning disabilities. The University provides suites of computers with cameras, microphones and video that enable people to experience first hand the practical approaches and the benefits that they can bring for this community. We also take equipment out into the community to share the flexible ways in which multimedia and ICT can work for people in all sorts of situations Practical workshops are usually more inclusive so people with learning disabilities and supporters get a taste of the spectrum of different ways that these tools can be used to improve lives. Practical workshops often result in production of instant Websites in ways that demonstrate to all just how easy some of these processes can be using our easy-build websites and ‘no-fuss’ ways of working with new media.
The Rix Centre teaching team run a range of Seminars and Worshops at UEL and in various Centres across East London. We also take these sessions to conferences and networking meetings in places all around the world as part of our dissemination of these innovative approaches to supporting the learning disabilities community.
