APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING
Dear Colleague,
I am writing to you in the hope that you will wish to make a
contribution to an important new UK HEFCE-funded project.
The project is compiling a resource-map that will enable all higher
education staff draw upon work that supports the teaching and learning
requirements of disabled students, wherever the work may have taken
place. With the increased number of students with disabilities that are
taking
up their right to higher education and the changing legal obligations of
institutions, it is essential that we all have the best possible access
to the widest possible range of material.
The map will also help those who have originated material in this area
get proper recognition for their work. When complete, it will be
available
from the HEFCE website and in hard copy.
My request is that you give a little time to completing the
questionnaire available on-line at
http://cehep.open.ac.uk/cehep/educational/mapping_resources/index.htm ,
through which we are gathering information for the map.
The value of the map will be directly determined by the input that you
and your colleagues provide. I hope you will be able to give the
limited
time needed to complete the questionnaire; it can be completed quite
quickly
if you have the information needed readily to hand.
Do please contact myself ([log in to unmask]) or Fiona Reid
([log in to unmask]) if you have any questions about the questionnaire
or the overall project. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
David French
