Over the summer we hosted a series of training sessions called the Sight and Sound Summer School. We realise that for many people, accessing training can be difficult and costly, so we made it as easy as possible by delivering the sessions online, using the very popular Zoom meeting platform.
Over the course of 5 days, we covered a range of solutions, with sessions on JAWS and keyboard shortcuts, ZoomText, RUBY magnifiers and Braille displays. Finishing with a surgery style session, there was the chance to ask us any questions on any of the Sight and Sound product range.
With August being the prime time for summer holidays, we made sure that we recorded each session in both audio and video format for people to catch up on, you can find the details for these sessions below:
