Kevin,

 

I can provide some informal information.  Please let me know if there is a
specific community you campus is considering.

Kevin - 

 

Call Paul Hastings at Wheelock College in Boston - I believe he has done
some work in this area.

Athen,

 

I am interested in the accessibility of online communities including (but
not exclusively) Facebook.  I am reporting to a committee which is
evaluating implementation of online communities on campus.  I searched
through some emails and I didn't see much discussion on this issue.  I don't
want to recreate the wheel if online community sites have been evaluated
already.    Another question is whether people with disabilities are using
these online communities?

 

PS I am looking forward to attending the Higher Ground conference in Boulder
Colorado for the first time this year!
