Renee Clark Freedom Scientific, Learning Systems Group -----Original Message----- From: nifl-ld@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-ld@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of Susan Jones Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 1:02 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-LD:3795] COmputer lab wish list In my job as "academic development specialist," the Academic Development Center at my community college is getting a computer lab to the tune of 16 PC computers. The Academic Development Unit's job is to improve the lot of students who are in "developmental" classes -- the remedial skills classes to prep students for 101 whether it's math or English. My job is speficially to work with students on the academics, as a learnign disabiltiies specialist, with students with documented LDs or "patterns of learning problems." In other words, they don't need the paperwork to see me :) My background is in LDs and instructional technology (and before that, WIldife/Fisheries) -- so I get to make the wish list for making the lab user-friendly and accessible. I've got ideas of my own and I'll be checking out educational and assistive stuff... but I'd love input *both* about what to put on the wish list, and logistical issues. I *hope* that the department/college has policies and what have you for maintaining computer labs (they're all over campus) but I don't like surprises like that ;) Any ideas?
