This is a second call as I understand that many of you were away from the ‘office’ when the first call went out in the summer. I apologise to those who have already seen the call and responded. If you still don't know about DISinHE then please visit our Web site at: www.disinhe.ac.uk Here at DISinHE we are interested in hearing from those people in the UK Higher Education disability field who would like to be involved in various case studies. An acceptable case study would be in receipt of funding of which 50% would be paid up-front and 50% upon completion. We have already had some interest from various parties; however we would be particularly interested in the following areas of study. -Guidelines to using technology in examinations. -Guidelines on the use of computerised testing for dyslexia. -Repetitive Strain Injury -Netiquette for using email – including the do’s and don’t when emailing disabled people -Internal contact with students with a disability -Audio description – accessory or accessibility / Conveying visual information. -Implications and Technology related to teaching students with Acquired Brain Injury -Making Library Resources accessible to people with disabilities This is not an exhaustive list if you have an idea then please get in touch. As a direct result of the consultation process that took place on 1st October DISinHE has decided to issue the following guidelines for those of you wishing to partake in the call for case studies. Please ensure that you address all eight points in your show of interest What do want to offer? Why do you see it is relevant? Who will do it? What credentials do you have for this work? How long will it take? How much do you think it will cost? What is the ‘value added’ for the sector/individual? How will you be presenting your report? If when we look at your idea/s we may find that they are similar to another institutions please state if you are willing to work collaboratively. Should you be unsure of anything then please do call me and we will discuss it further. ---------------------- Ian Webb - Development Officer - DISinHE Centre Tel: 01382 345598 Fax: 01382 345509 [log in to unmask] http://www.disinhe.ac.uk %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
