Subject: [NIFL-LD:4871] question ;)
have a question that came to me today (or I'd have asked earlier :))
I'm in a computer lab at a community college. E is taking an online psych
course; lots of terms and definitions. She takes a whole lot longer to do
things on the computer because of CP (she uses a wheelchair); she's managing
to get C's on the no-time-limit, open-book quizzes (except for some
aggravating issues with the system logging her off which have been dealt
with). However, the final will not be open-book. She's gonna need to study
this stuff. (The open-book C's are a mixture of, I think, physical
logistical issues - makes guesses 'cause it would take too long to find the
answer in the book, and sometimes really just doesn't understand what she
reads (sometimes she's found exactly the right passage but selects the wrong
answer, even though she knows what it says).
I often counsel students in making flash cards of imnportant terms but
the time that would take and the quality of the product makes that an
unfeasible option. Any ideas out there for her for ways to study? We've
got access to Kurzweil down the hall and other odds & ends...

Thanks Rochelle,
Also, the LDA conference will be in Jacksonville, Florida in February/March
2006. I am working with the FAAST (www.faast.org)to help run the assistive
technology computer lab. Any additional volunteers from Florida TechNet that
would like to participate in the lab --let me know! It would be a way for
them to attend the conference sessions.

Christopher,
Thanks so much for the list of Freeware. I have had so many positive
comments off-list about this. You really struck a chord with teachers
looking for
free resources. I am going to share this with Dr. Debra Hargrove, the
project director of our state's Technology project, FloridaTechNet. I am
sure she
will want to include this as a resource on her listserv.
