Scenario
IT has the potential to offer universal access to information, regardless of distance, age, race, gender or other personal characteristics. However, these characteristics and cost, can also bar individuals or groups from access.

TES would like to be able to provide education for all students regardless if they are less able for whatever reasons. The class will be split into two groups and each group will be designated either Phase 1 or Phase 2 campus buildings.

Each group needs to survey and make detailed recommendations for the building **(including the ICT labs)** that will allow universal access to students regardless of whether they are in a wheel chair, visual impaired, hard of hearing etc. This will need to look at both hardware and software requirements, and also look at other equipment, furniture, access points etc.

**Tasks**

 * Stage 1:** split into two groups, appoint a team leader and brainstorm ideas, these need to be recorded on A3 paper. A good start would be to make a list of possible disabilities and the symptoms or problems that may be associated with those.
 * Stage 2:** Team leaders to assign research areas to their team and for individuals to research and provide some structured feedback for the team, this should include the disabilities and also European legislation about accessibility. Team leaders to create a wiki page for their respective projects and collate the teams research.
 * Stage 3:** Create a project plan as a [|Gantt chart] with a work (task) breakdown structure. If MS Project is not available then a spreadsheet application is ok for creating the Gantt chart.
