Good Practice suggests that all students should receive copies of all OHP's
and other notes. Working on the basis that whats good for students with
disabilities is good for all; it should not be too difficult - and before I
get shot down in a flurry of copyright and costs etc. Just give it some
careful thought. With planning OHP's can be posted on the Web. as can notes
and other presented material.
Take a look at 'Teaching Everyone - disability and new technology - a guide
for lecturers' or better still ask the lecturers to take a look. If you
cannot find a copy in your institution then there is an on line version on
the DISinHE web site direct them to it or print it off and hand it to them.
