Accessibility Assess your learning: How much do think communicating with your textbook representatives re: accessibility, affects the learning outcomes for students in your courses? I have no influence on a publisher's final textbook format. I can at least discuss the types of students who might take my class. I could ask the representative if the textbook comes with a CDROM and see if it is navigable with a screen reader. I could ask if the publisher has companion websites with the textbook and if those pages are accessible. I can ask if the websites have video clips and if so, are they closed-captioned. If not, are there text transcripts for students to download. I can ask if the web sites have power point presentations. If so, I can ask if they downloadable to a student's individual station so they can use their assistive technology to read information from the slides. What do you consider to be the most valuable or important concept/idea in this lesson? What remains unclear?
