We run a fully accessible distance taught Masters programme with modules delivered through Blackboard software. We have disabled people on the programme including sensory impairment and were selected by the National Disability Team as an exemplar of accessible e-learning. What is not clear from your e-mail is for what purpose your colleague is undertaking this research.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Mcdonald, Rebecca Sent: 15 January 2004 15:50 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Online / E-Learning programmes used by students with sensory impairments Dear all, I hope that you can help. I am enquiring on behalf of my colleague, Barbara Stewart, who is researching usage, statistics & user satisfaction of students with sensory impairments / disabilities, who have used online / e-learning, either as the main form of course delivery, or as a part of their course (e.g. a module / unit). Basically, we require examples of best practice in delivery / provision of these forms of learning to sensory impaired students, and also some 'hard facts / figures' in the form of statistics (e.g. on usage etc.). Also, feedback and review from students who have used such forms of course delivery. So, any qualitative or quantitative data that you may have (or know of) regarding this subject. If you know of any information sources, hard copy or virtual, or of any contacts that Barbara could get in touch with, or are happy for her to get in touch with you regarding this, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and obviously acknowledged. Many thanks. Best wishes- Rebecca R. M.
