[Athen] SurveyMonkey

[Saroj Primlani]

Good news if it really works.  I have sent out a request on the university's
list serve for me to be able to test it. Will get back with my input when I
get a chance to give it a whirl.

Not sure about the cost, but this company looks promising:

It appears that SurveyMonkey (the online survey tool) has been "Section 508
Certified" by RampWEB Web accessibility consulting.  Check out their online
page at http://www.surveymonkey.com/HelpCenter/Answer.aspx?HelpID=247 .

There are certainly some names associated with this announcement and I am
curious if anyone has taken SurveyMonkey for a spin to see the
functionality.  Definitely on my to do list.

(Thanks to Jayme for the heads-up)

Take care,
Sean

I am going on medical leave for the next three weeks, starting tomorrow.
How do I set this list to no mail while I am gone?

 

Thanks!

Sorry, this is a late response-catching up after a busy academic year.
We have been using Tablet PC's for in-class aides and note takers for
classes where the information presented consists of formulas and diagrams,
etc.  We used two of the Tablet PC's this past year and have since ordered 2
more as they have worked out so well for us that we needed additional
computers.  You can certainly put the student in touch with me about this.

Hi all,

I need someone who has recent experience with tablet PC's that is willing to
chat with a new student with ABI that just returned from school.

> How do I set this list to no mail while I am gone?


 

For those going on vacation, holiday, walkabout, taking a leave of absence,
(or just even taking a break from the world), here are some instructions to
change your ATHEN E-mail list status.

 

To receive no mail or set to Digest status:

 

- Go to http://athenpro.org/mailman/options/athen_athenpro.org 

 

- Enter your e-mail address and password and then press the "Log In" button.
If you do not know your password, you can press the "Remind" button and this
will send your password to you. 

 

- Once you have logged into your subscription options, navigate down to the
section marked "Mail Delivery".

 

- Choose "Disabled" to stay subscribed to the list, but not receive any
messages.

 

- Alternatively, you can also set your status to "Digest Mode" (in the next
section) and will receive approximately 1 message per day with all the
messages.

 

- Move to the bottom of the page and press the "Submit My Changes" button to
retain your new settings.

 

Remember to change your settings when you come back from vacation!

 

Take care,
Sean

I also have a web page on how students with disabilities can take advantage
of tablet technology. The page includes a book on how to use Microsoft
OneNote from the keyboard. It is for OneNote 2003. There is also a document
which is an overview of tablet technology.

 

http://www.karlencommunications.com/tablet-technology.htm 

 

It might be a useful resource?

 

Cheers, Karen
