Hi there,

I had this sent on to me from a colleague here in WI. I added my
library and distance-education related accessibility projects to it.
Please consider adding your own materials to what promises to become a
comprehensive guide to resources for students with disabilities in
higher education.

> Dear Colleague,

> I am writing to you in the hope that you will wish to make a

> 
> The project is compiling a resource-map that will enable all higher 
> education staff draw upon work that supports the teaching and
> learning  requirements of disabled students, wherever the work may
have taken
> place. With the increased number of students with disabilities that
are
> taking up their right to higher education and the changing legal
obligations of
> institutions, it is essential that we all have the best possible
> access to the widest possible range of material. 
> 
> The map will also help those who have originated material in this
> area get proper recognition for their work. When complete, it will be
> available from the HEFCE website and in hard copy. 
> 
> My request is that you give a little time to completing the
> questionnaire available on-line at 
http://cehep.open.ac.uk/cehep/educational/mapping_resources/index.htm
> ,through which we are gathering information for the map. 
> The value of the map will be directly determined by the input that
> you and your colleagues provide.  I hope you will be able to give the
limited
> time needed to complete the questionnaire;  it can be completed quite
> quickly if you have the information needed readily to hand.

> Do please contact myself ([log in to unmask]) or Fiona Reid

> questionnaire or the overall project.  Thank you in advance for your
co-operation.
