鉴于新冠肺炎疫情的最新进展, 我们正处在一个高度动态的环境中. 学生无障碍服务 is suggesting some special considerations 和 guidance to support you as you plan for a shift to alternative methods of instruction to ensure alignment with ADA/Section 504 和 508 st和ards.
残疾人, including people living with chronic illnesses 和 immune-related conditions, exist within our system 和 many function with or without 住宿 in place through 学生无障碍服务. This is important to consider because our planning should include options for those who are not presently identified through formal channels.
在一般情况下, we recommend flexibility with course requirements 和 consultation with 学生无障碍服务 to help address individual instructional, 学生服务, 或者学生的需求.
创建可访问远程学习选项的指南
考虑在CANVAS上包含一个关于可访问性的声明
随着突然过渡到在线格式, 我尽了最大的努力让所有的学生都能上这门课, 包括残疾学生. 如果你在访问本课程中的任何内容时遇到问题, 请立即通过电子邮件与我联系，以便我为您提供支持. You may also contact 学生无障碍服务 at accessibility@hawkeyecollege.Edu或tiffany.dodd@hawkeyecollege.Edu或319-296-2320 ext. 1060.
考虑过渡期间和之后的灵活性
在过渡到替代的教学方法, offer flexibility with attendance points 和 participation points without specifically authorized 学生无障碍服务 住宿. 考虑利用其他项目/任务, 其他提交方法, 还有到期日期的灵活性.
Consider surveying your students to gauge their needs 和 concerns during this time.
- 他们有可靠的网络吗? 他们有Zoom功能的网络摄像头吗?
- Do they have any accessibility requests or concerns regarding online teaching 和 learning (like readings available in different formats or approaches to discussion boards)?
- 他们是否担心基本需求(家庭或食物不安全), 心理护理, 照顾孩子, 或者获取技术?
If a student who is not registered with 学生无障碍服务 is communicating disability related barriers in the online format, please support them to the extent possible 和 refer them to 学生无障碍服务 for 住宿.
创建可访问在线课程内容的提示
Instructional materials must be accessible in accordance with legal m和ates.
Utilize the Microsoft accessibility checker to help assess document accessibility. Read Microsoft's article "Improve Accessibility with the Accessibility Checker" 了解更多".
Canvas为用户提供了清晰、易用的易访问性设计指南. 看到 一般无障碍设计指引 和 Canvas内的可访问性 了解更多.
在线评估/考试提示
考虑不包括定时考试的替代评估方法.
Be aware that students that may not previously have had testing 住宿 may need them with the change in environment.
共同住宿和在线教育
Accommodations that were originally designed for face-to-face courses may need to be adapted/updated for online environments — this may mean creativity in the design 和 delivery of 住宿.
All adjustments/住宿 will be individually determined on a student by student basis. Not all students with disabilities will need adjustments or the same type of adjustment.
考试安排
-
延长时间: The Canvas学习管理系统 has a feature that allows you to adjust a student’s online quiz/exam time corresponding to the amount of extended time authorized by 学生无障碍服务 (typically 1.5 time or “time 和 half”; or 2.0或" double time "). 看到 如何在新测验中为学生添加评估住宿? or 一旦我发布了一个定时测验，我怎么能给我的学生额外的时间?
-
大声朗读: ReadSpeaker, built into Canvas, improves accessibility 和 functions as a reader for students. 学生 can click on the speaker to have Canvas tests 和 materials read aloud. 这就是学生们在大声朗读考试时获得便利的方式. 此功能必须通过Canvas提供考试. 考试不使用附件.
-
减少分心/个别考试设置: Please be aware that students may not have a great setting to take exams which could impact their assessment scores.
笔记住宿
- CANVAS的课后材料.
- Consider having students add notes to a shared Google Doc so that all students can benefit from each other.
- 考虑提供讲座的视频或音频片段以供重复观看. 如果可以的话，提供文字记录或字幕. 看到www.水獭.免费转录服务.
拼写和语法住宿
Consider not penalizing students for spelling or grammatical mistakes in discussion postings because the extra cognitive load of typing or using speech-to-text software may make things more difficult for them.
Consider 学生 with Hearing Impairments or Visual Impairments that may or may not have 住宿
学生无障碍服务 will be corresponding directly with faculty who have students that have 住宿 for hearing or visual impairments in their courses to provide more specific support 和 guidance.
与听力障碍学生一起工作的想法
与有视觉障碍的学生一起工作的想法
- 以可访问的格式创建文档
- All instructor made videos should include descriptive language so that students are aware of information you are presenting non-verbally.
