Dear Emma, As part of my PhD research I have created an inter-institutional online course entitled Disability in Higher Education: critical issues. The aim of this unit is to develop a critical appreciation of disabling practices within society. The understanding developed through themes discussed and issues raised is applicable to all aspects of society; however, course members demonstrate their understanding through discussion and engagement with their own community, in this instance Higher Education. The course is ready to run in several HEI's so as yet I don't have much to offer. Except to add that I recently (yesterday) attended a teachablity training event entitled eLearning and Disabled Students. It was very helpful and I suggest that you contact the teachability project, as they may be able to provide some assistance. Best wishes, Adele -----Original Message----- From: Discussion list for disabled students and their support staff.

I wonder if there has been any pilot studies into the feasibility of such courses (aside from general Website accessibility issues). A Department are currently piloting a 100% web-based course and have asked for feedback, I thought it might be helpful to find out if anyone else had done anything similiar, or if any design studies existed regarding this area? If anyone knows of anything helpful - please let me know.
