    Searchable PDF module books

      It would be helpful in my opinion if all modules were created in Searchable PDF format, It makes research faster and bookmarking is easier.

    9:58am on 15 Jan 25 Accessible digital textbooks are a cornerstone of inclusive education. They empower students with visual impairments, learning disabilities, and other challenges to engage with course materials on an equal footing. Searchable PDFs, in particular, offer features such as text-to-speech compatibility, adjustable font sizes, and the ability to navigate content efficiently—capabilities that are indispensable for many learners.

    1:58pm on 27 Feb 25 The module website is impeccable in terms of accessibility but the online resources are not. I am concerned about coming across issues with future modules.
