[Athen] 2008 ATHEN Survey on Accessible Tech in HE (Thompson, Draffan, & Patel)

[Sean Keegan]

Hello all,

It appears that the author to this thread used an outdated URL when
referencing the article. To reach the article "International Comparison on
Accessible Technology in Higher Education" please us the following URL:
https://athenpro.org/node/87

We are investigating why the ITD subdomain is being presented for these
pages, but the ATHEN website is still operational and you can find the
entire set of articles at the following link:
https://athenpro.org/node/85

Thank you,
Sean
