Paul if you are offering to be the editor that is amazing! I have a feeling
you may be overwhelmed! I think there may be some merit in picking a
disability or specific learning difficulty as suggested, but there will be
tremendous overlaps when it comes to the topics.
So say you have visual impairment and a series of topics like lectures or
writing and even examinations as we had with the Open University Inclusive
teaching website – it was hard not to mention tips that would also help
other students. We have also found this with the LexDis strategies so you
may need a matrix approach and have it available online so people can dip
into the tips that are tagged or categorised to cover several difficulties
and link to the various activities undertaken. The book can follow when you
have a collection with introductions and an overview of the issues and then
the tips!
If it helps we could add a section on the LexDis Wordpress site that are
‘teachers, academics and tutors tips’ or whatever you want to call them. We
have a submit form that could be adapted with tips being sent to you Paul.
They would complement the student strategies there already and could be
added as posts. http://www.lexdis.org.uk/
Please accept this as just an idea not something that needs to be taken up!
You could call it crowdsourcing and maybe we need to use kickstarter to fund
those helping out with the task!

Sounds a great idea to have a schedule of topics. I'd be really interested
in that and happy to contribute where appropriate

I would recommend for this topic you look through some of the articles in
NADP's peer reviewed journal as I know there are some articles .......

Subject: Tips and good practice - a gigantic collaboration
Hello everyone
Last week I attended a training session and afterwards teachers and staff
began to discuss the session and offer their own views/good practice and I
felt I learned even more. It got me thinking about how sometimes a fellow
JISCmailer will ask if anyone has some good tips for e.g. teaching a student
with Asperger’s Syndrome. And, sometimes a document will be shared and at
other times there is no response (although of course this might be due to
the fact the advice is being shared the two parties or that people are just
too busy to respond).
When no one responds, I often wonder if some people are a little reluctant
to share a document they have slaved over and perfected over the years (I
confess I have been guilty of this, for a few minutes anyway)? I feel that
this reaction is natural, and there might also be a little part of me that
thinks my document isn’t worth sending as there is probably better advice
out there.
I am sure others must have felt this way – so I thought each month we could
pick a topic, let’s say Asperger’s Syndrome – practical tips for teachers –
and ask everyone to submit their best tip (with an example of how it
worked/helped?). Imagine the expertise out there? The great practice that is
happening? We could all benefit from it and in turn so could our teachers
and students.
I am happy to compile the finished document (that would be unique, not a
copied and pasted version from the Internet – not that any of you do
that)and send it out to all. We could publish a JISCmail online book of
tips/advice….sorry getting carried away now.
I would be interested in your thoughts.
Regards, Paul
