Check out the "Accessible assessments" web site from Sheffield Hallam http://www.shu.ac.uk/services/lti/accessibleassessments/. It is excellent and takes a really inclusive approach. Also look at the OU's "Inclusive Teaching" section on assessment at http://www.open.ac.uk/inclusiveteaching/pages/inclusive-teaching/assessment.php best wishes, Caroline ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dorrian Estella" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 3:16 PM Subject: FW: You are now subscribed to the DIS-FORUM list Hi I have been asked to talk with academic staff about reasonable adjustments particulary in the area of alternative assessments. I want to take this opportunity to highlight the breadth of alternative assessment that can occur and which does not compromise academic standards. I would be grateful if anyone would share their experiences or creative solutions. Many Thanks in anticipation.
