Paper Abstract:
|
In Ontario, Canada new legislation requires that all public sector institutions, including universities, make all of their services accessible to individuals with disabilities. This new Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) brings the use of lecture capturing technologies more directly into focus. The intent of the AODA legislation is to break down barriers to accessibility by mandating universal access for students with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to understand the perceptions and experiences of students with disabilities using lecture capture technologies in order to evaluate how the technology aligns with the principles of Universal Design. A mixed-method research approach will be used in 2 phases of data collection: 1) on-line survey questionnaire; and, 2) individual face-to-face interviews. This paper provides the background literature for understanding the context of the study by bridging the requirements of the new AODA legislation with the concepts of universal accessibility and lecture capture technologies. |
