Below are links to free online resources created by the Centre for Deaf Studies.
MobileSign is a video dictionary with over 5,000 British Sign Language signs. Produced by staff at the Centre for Deaf Studies, it is a mobile accessory to people who work with Deaf people, have Deaf customers or just want to learn to sign.
The interface is extremely simple and is especially designed for mobile phone displays. Users either type in the word they want translated to sign or they choose from an alphabetic list. The signs do not appear until users ask for download, to avoid unnecessary charges for unwanted material. The signs can be played as often as users wish.
Deafstation - the news and information service for BSL users. Deafstation provides a daily news programme in BSL. Once registered, you can search the archives back to 2003 and you can check out the other categories of information all in BSL.
Want to know about British Sign Language (BSL)? Signstation has video, interactive exercises, pictures, graphics and explanations about BSL and Deaf people at work. Signstation supports Deaf awareness training under the Disability Discrimination Act.
A website where you can find out about the Deaf community sign language and Deaf studies.
The VOGS website is a research and resource package for sign language learning and employment counselling of Deaf people.
The website is produced by University of Bristol, Centre for Deaf Studies as part of the VOGS project (Vocational Guidance Standard Model for Deaf People in Europe) funded by the EC Leonardo project.
