All New ... Creating Accessible Teaching and Support (CATS) Web Resource
http://www.adcet.edu.au/cats
Dear Colleagues
I am very pleased to announce that the Creating Accessible Teaching and
Support (CATS) web based resource has been completely re-written and is
now available on line at http://www.adcet.edu.au/cats
The resource aims to provide information to assist staff in higher
education to better teach and support students with disability.
CATS now includes:
introductions to the key issues impacting on the educational and
employment success of students with disability
video content covering disability awareness, student / staff case
studies, accessibility and assistive technology
improved access to our comprehensive database of fact sheets, articles and
web links
really cute graphics!!
Each page provides a Wiki type function giving users the opportunity to
comment, suggest additional content or engage in debate.
CATS is a work in progress and there is much more content and
functionality (and transcripts of videos) yet to be added but we would
really appreciate your critique and suggestions as to how we can further
develop the resource as a tool for improving outcomes for students with
disability.
We would also appreciate suggestions as to content (particularly short
videos) that we could include.
You will also notice that the ADCET website has also been redeveloped and
we are now seeking funds to develop resources specifically for the VET and
secondary sectors.
Regards
Tony
