![]() ![]() We also have one application in a video chat room. We have one dedicated computer in each of three libraries that has assistive technologies. We have installed access to our JAWS software on all 96 laptops that may be checked out from the various libraries. We have bookable rooms in many libraries that provide opportunity for quiet space and/or conversation with an aide/assistant/notetaker/reader. We did have several dedicated private workstations in our Education Library and the plan is to include four in this facility. This workstation has a variety of accessibility software to meet users’ needs. These numbers reflect Mac OS Accessibility and Windows workstations with JAWS. The library in which the private workstations are located has many more service hours then the main campus DRC office offers. the more of the class you can get to request as a united front, the better off you may be.17 SPEC Kit 358: Accessibility and Universal Design The space in the library compliments the main campus Disability Resource Center’s services and resources. the best bet, imo, would be bringing it up to the professor at the start of class, esp if they ask yall things like "how can i help you learn?" or the like. We have a lot of cool professors who eagerly take feedback from students and try to accommodate their needs and wishes into their teaching, but there are also professors who fight adhering the ADA at every turn. Note-taking accommodations can get students access to presentations/slideshows if they arent already available to the students. im not sure if a similar accommodation exists for video. There is a drc accommodation for the Livescribe pen, which allows students to audio record lectures, but a release needs to be signed by the professor. they can try to advocate for anything for equitable education access, but if other students aren't getting video lectures, its very unlikely that drc students would get them either. ![]() if the professor doesnt want to do video lectures, there is really nothing the drc can do about that. in many asynchronous courses, there was no lecture component (or at least not by the prof, some had 3rd party videos). even during the pandemic, not all professors recorded videos. Video recording of lectures is very, very specific to the individual professors and students. but while the individuals who work for the drc would love to provide anything and everything we need, its not always withing their power. Okay so, I don't have all the answers on this (i don't work for the DRC, just with them) but I can tell you what I do know.įirst off, im personally very much in favour of this and i know many drc students are too (and non drc students!). Having notetakers has absolutely saved my ass when i've missed class because of pain flare-ups and if i'd had one when poly plague merc'd my compromised immune system first year, i might have even passed physics (okay.probably not). i have heard this from multiple people, lol. Plus, it'll motivate you to take notes/attend classes when you know someone else is relying on you. it's also a great way to be an ally to the disability community. Notetakers are crucial in helping level the playing field so all students can succeed in classes with their disabilities. follow the directions in a DRC email you've gotten OR check out the DRC webpage about it There's a video and everything. be a person who takes good, legible notes be a student who is willing to attend class What do you need to do to be a notetaker? the notetaker uploads takes a picture of their notes or uploads documents and the student receiving services can download them on their end. The drc (disability resource center) connects students with others in their classes indirectly through an online portal. Notetaking is an accommodation for students with disabilities that is really important! some students miss a lot of classes due to chronic illness or have trouble taking their own notes (they might have trouble using their hands, hearing/processing, etc). ik a lot of people ignore these bc they aren't sure what it means, but most ppl are very willing to do it once they know! Hey yall!! back at it again w the disability posts to tell yall to be a notetaker!! its about that time when the emails start rolling out asking you to be a notetaker for classes you're in. Thanks!
