Award ceremony for the student competition ACCEESS

On September 28, 2022, hybrid held the final presentation and award ceremony for the student project ACCESS. From ten participant teams, three winning teams were selected by the jury and their development tools were awarded.

In the summer semester of 2022, the computer science students had each developed prototypes of a checking platform that teachers can use to check their digital learning spaces for accessibility. A mixture of automated and manual checking options provides teachers with feedback on the accessibility of their respective learning spaces in both Moodle and ILIAS and identifies solutions to remove digital barriers. Gamification approaches extend the user experience for instructors.

The winning teams were awarded cash prizes worth up to €5,000 and celebrated their success at a get-together with fellow students, the jury and guests.
