I am very interested in looking at how educational institutions have used, or are thinking of using technology in innovative ways in engaging with disabled staff and students in order to generate feedback about policies, procedures and practices that impact on their everyday environment. In my experience, some students (in particular younger learners or those not used to college/university life) for example, may not feel confident in attending focus groups or meetings, they might not feel that they want to speak up in committees but might quite comfortably express their view on a social network where they have anonymity and freedom to express themselves. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has experience of use of VLE's, wikis or other social networking approaches to engage with disabled users about their experiences at college/university as part of their DED. Can you help or do you know of any examples of where this approach has been adopted?
