[guidlines] A digital textbook for everyone: Accessible and interactive, from concept to use #accessibility #tugraz #research

Our final guidlines „A digital textbook for everyone: Accessible and interactive, from concept to use“ are now online available:

The Guidelines offer practical orientation on how to design digital schoolbooks that are didactically sound, inclusive, and accessible. They address everyone involved in creating or using learning materials — from publishers, authors, and teachers to designers, developers, parents, and educational stakeholders.
A key feature of the project is its transdisciplinary approach: experts from subject didactics, inclusive education, UX design, computer science, and accessibility worked together to develop methods, processes, and examples. While the work is based on content from mathematics and geography, the principles are transferable to other subjects.
Digital schoolbooks provide new opportunities for individualized, collaborative, and competence-oriented learning. The Guidelines show how digital materials can follow a “Born Accessible” strategy from the very beginning, aligned with the principles of Universal Design for Learning. They provide concrete recommendations, best practices, and examples that can be directly applied to development projects.
The content covers the entire development process — from defining inclusive learning goals to decisions about design and representation, technical implementation, feedback structures, and ongoing quality assurance.
These guidelines were developed as one of three key outcomes of the Erasmus+ project Digital Education Material (DEM).

[publication] Open Educational Resources for Legal Clarity, Sustainability, and Digital Sovereignty in European University Alliances #tugraz

We summarized the importance of Open Education Resources, especially for Digital Sovereignty. Our paper titled „Open Educational Resources for Legal Clarity, Sustainability, and Digital Sovereignty in European University Alliances“ is now available online.

Abstract:
Open educational resources (OER) are widely recognized for improving access to education and enabling the sharing of knowledge. However, in the context of European university alliances such as Unite!, OER offer additional, often underappreciated benefits that are crucial for cross-border collaboration and sustainable development in higher education. This paper explores three key aspects of OER that are particularly relevant to European alliances. First, OER enable the legally secure use of educational resources across national borders, addressing uncertainties about copyright laws, particularly for translations and adaptations. This ensures compliance with different legal frameworks while fostering collaboration. Second, OER support sustainability by ensuring that investments in educational materials are not limited by restrictive usage rights. This is especially critical in alliances where shared resources are central to fostering long-term cooperation and aligning with sustainability goals, a priority for Unite!. Finally, OER contribute to digital sovereignty by empowering institutions and educators to create, adapt, and share resources without relying on proprietary platforms or licenses. This coincides with European alliances’ broader strategic objective of promoting autonomy and resilience in their digital ecosystems. By highlighting these often-overlooked benefits of OER, the present research aims to broaden the perspective on their strategic importance in fostering collaboration, sustainability, and sovereignty within European university alliances.
