Hello Everybody,
I am currently trying to set up some assistive technology to be used
within libraries. The PCs with software such as Jaws, Zoomtext,
Kurzweill, Dragon and Read and Write will be in dedicated rooms until
decisions have been made regarding networking software.
Does anybody else have this system and if so, how do you book the room
out/or control use of the PCs so that software doesn't magically
disappear etc? I am concerned that in the past, the equipment has been
used by students who perhaps don't need Jaws, for example, and have
switched it off (so that it doesn't load automatically etc.) and have
generally caused problems.
Do you have booking systems for the room or proximity devices which have
to be booked out?
I obviously want the rooms to be useful and as easy to access as
possible but need to balance this with keeping the equipment fit for
purpose.
I would be very grateful for any help that you can offer. My email
address is below if you would like to contact me directly.
Many thanks
