Context
WIDGaT is the worlds first code-free widget design and authoring tool for education.
What this means: Code free – it requires no programming or coding skills by
users Aimed specifically at the creation of widgets to support
learning Focus is on supporting disabled students – but has
mainstream application
Supported by a number of funded projects from JISC – WIDE, WIDGaT, WiP.

Rationale Widgets Apps and Gadgets (WAGs) are now integral to daily life but
there are limited number of WAGs available in the educational domain
Previous experience (WIDE) showed interest in widgets for personalisation of learning but resource intensive in terms of developers time.
There are no other widget authoring tools available in education for non-developers
Support staff in meeting the needs of disabled students
Develop a solution that Is equally effective for mainstream education (HE and FE) Can potentially be used by both staff and students Supports sharing, re-use and adaptation
