[Athen] Schools with Accessibility Standards and Faculty Pages

[Berger, Eileen]

Hi All,
I have a question about use of laptops in courses. Automaticity allows some students with cognitive differences, those with RSI, vision impairments, Hearing imp. Reading CART and etc. to take notes, stay tuned into classes, view PowerPOints and projected materials up close or enlarged etc. How do we influence our faculty to reconsider rigid no laptop in class policies? They seem to be influenced  by several articles and some limited research about how notetaking on laptops diminishes learning and long term memory.
Have you encountered this and how did you deal with it?
Thanks for any info!
Eileen

We state that individuals campus wide are responsible for accessible IT under their control, including those who create web pages. Having said that, we, in a very distributed environment, do not employ an accessible IT “police department.”

Hello All,
If your school has advanced and campus-wide ICT accessibility policies, how do you handle faculty and/or student created pages? Please excuse duplicate posts.

Thanks,
