Applying a theoretical understanding of text-based learning modalities to develop new course modalities that meet the needs of student with disabilities (Phase-I)

2021 GIANT Selection

Abstract - 

Students with disabilities face numerous additional challenges when digital content is inaccessible or difficult to use. In collaboration with BIOE, ISE, and Statistics, the team project will study the preferred characteristics and usage of text-based materials from the student and instructor perspective and develop into ClassTranscribe ebooks. The team will assess such intervention with special focus on students with disabilities while applying to all students/instructors.
