The Adaptech Research Network is investigating the accessibility
of eLearning to Canadian college and university students with
disabilities, including students with learning disabilities. We define
eLearning as all information and communication technologies, such as
PowerPoint, CD-ROMs and the Internet, that are used by professors in
classroom and online courses.
We are looking for :
1. college and university students with disabilities who have taken at
least one course in the last three years where the professor used some
form of eLearning;
2. staff who provide disability-related services at Canadian postsecondary
institutions;
3. college and university professors who have taught at least one student
with a disability during the last three years in a course where they used
some form of eLearning; and
4. individuals who support/implement eLearning at Canadian postsecondary
institutions, including VPs and managers of distance education and
instructional technology departments; persons who train faculty to use
technology or multimedia; designers and developers of eLearning on campus,
and so on.
Participants will be asked to complete a confidential online survey
lasting approximately 20 minutes twice, one month apart.
This study is part of the Disability and Information Technologies Research
Alliance and is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council of Canada (SSHRC).
For more information or to participate in this study send an email to
[log in to unmask] and indicate whether you are a student with a
disability, an individual who provides disability-related services, a
professor, or an individual who supports/implements eLearning on campus.
