[Athen] Seeking disabled students to interview about their digital reading experience

[kerscher at montana.com]

Dear AHEAD, ATHENS, and DSSHE-L folks

 

Sorry for the cross posting.

 

The EPUB in Higher Education working group is seeking student volunteers
with print disabilities who are willing to share their digital textbook
reading experiences.  We will be asking questions about which accessibility
features they rely on, their preferred apps and their favorite formats. Of
course, we will get their permission before we quote them in any way. We
believe their insights will help us create case studies and recommendations
to guide students and universities about techniques for reading by students
with a wide range of disabilities.

 

If you have students that are willing to volunteer, please have them send an
email to George Kerscher email:kerscher at montana.com

Best

George on behalf of the EPUB in Higher Education working group.
