Get Your Students Hired
I am impressed by how much technology has evolved to assist persons with disabilities. Not only at the educational front but overall disable student can use computers such as the Tobii eyewaze to do mostly everything online. I do believe more can be done for visual learners as personally I have not encountered many devices that aids this population. I a glad that students with disabilities can attein higher education.
Learned about the different types of products that can be used such as JAWS and a speech dicepitor.
Just because something is posted in LMS does not ensure the accessiblity for all students.
Assessability is a key component for students with disabilities. The instructor must know whether their materials have barriers built into them.
ive learned that even though all students learn differently, there are standards set for a student with disabilities and as a instructor, i have learn that students limits, strengths and keep them engaged with different tactics.
The institution is responsible for making sure all courses are presented accessible to students with disabilities. Simply putting curriculum content into an LMS does not secure accessibility for all.
Thorugh my years of fifteen years of teaching I had one student who need modifications for test taking. I know that there were many more out there, wish we could have done something for those students before they withdrew.
I learned about different tools that a student could use such as JAW and Speech generator devices.
I found it helpful to understand some of the AT tools available. The advancement in technology and assistance can quickly become a financial burden.
I liked learning about websites and resources I can use to explore options that might help my students.
I had been unaware that some LMS's aren't really compatible with screen readers. That surprized me.
