Applying a Theoretical Understanding of Text-Based Learning Modalities to Develop New Course Modalities That Meet the Needs of Student with Disabilities (Phase II)

Abstract - 

Students with disabilities face numerous additional challenges when digital content is inaccessible or difficult to use. Based on our Phase I results, the team will generate a collection of representative digital books in Grainger/STEM courses, implement and improve the most needed functionalities for the books through ClassTranscribe and assess the effects of such implementation regarding students' performance and expectancy factors.
