AccessApps

The Scottish JISC RSCs in collaboration with TechDis have developed the AccessApps initiative. This consists of more than 50 open source and freeware applications which can be used from a USB stick without any installation on the computer being used.

Many of the applications are assistive technologies and which would be useful will depend on the particular learning support needs of the individual. The ability to store and run these applications from a USB device allows the individual access to the software to support them on any computer they use without the need to install or get around locked down networks.

Further information, a list of applications and a link to downloads is available from the JISC RSC website.
