Designing modules involves thinking about different teaching activities for student learning.

Here you will find insights into dyslexia and examples of how some staff have designed ways of teaching for everyone that have addressed common issues for dyslexic students. For example, tutors and dyslexic students talk about how they use podcasts and WebCT.

You may find that you can adapt these techniques to suit your own disciplinary context.

Examples from What is dyslexia

• Be aware of the possible effects of dyslexia and recognise where adjustments are needed: more time for reading and writing (nearly always), time management (sometimes), concentration (sometimes, but effects can be severe), maths (sometimes).
• Be prepared to check whether work that looks 'careless' may actually be the product of much effort.
• Be sensitive to when a dyslexic student may need to learn differently from the majority rather than assume lack of ability or effort.
