Providing Equal Access of Information to Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Online Courses
Presented by: Dr. Sam Slike & Pam Berman, Bloomsburg University
Dr. Sam Slike, a professor at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania
will discuss his use of Wimba to provide college courses to deaf and
hard of hearing students. His innovative courses use a sign language
interpreter broadcast through a web cam (and simultaneously broadcast
via a Sorenson videophone); closed captioning of spoken lecture
material via Caption Colorado; PowerPoint slides; text chat; and spoken
lecture.
Read the article about Dr. Slike and Berman in Campus Technology Magazine: http://campustechnology.com/articles/56259/
His
presentation will provide an overview of the deaf/hh population;
general challenges encountered in providing equal access of information
for this group of individuals; and creating an online course for
deaf/hh and hearing students using Wimba as the delivery tool.
