DO-IT Program:
Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology
http://www.washington.edu/doit/Faculty/
DO-IT (Disabilities,
Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology), located at the University of
Washington, serves to increase the participation of individuals with
disabilities in challenging academic programs and careers. The “Faculty Room”
section of their website is a space for faculty and administrators at
postsecondary institutions to learn about how to create classroom
environments and activities that maximize the learning of all students,
including those with disabilities. Information about designing learning
activities to be accessible to the widest possible range of students is
organized by type of activity (everything from artwork and written
assignments to science labs and group work) AND by type of disability or
impairment. Each section provides a discussion of what faculty can expect,
suggested accommodations, FAQ, case study and resources. Lots more! |
