Mobile Enabled Disabled Students - ALPS Research Report
This project aimed to inform the ongoing work and development of ALPS in relation to the specific needs of disabled students when using mobile technologies for learning and assessment in practice settings. Specific objectives were:
- To investigate the range of impairments that affect health and social care students. This can be used to form guidance for “reasonable expectations”.
- To establish what works well for disabled students who currently use mobile devices and take part in this study
- To identify the challenges that mobile technologies present to disabled students
- To trial the use of new assessment methods as they are agreed by the ALPS tools group, among disabled users to assess their impact and identify changes that need to be made for disabled users.
- To test the accessibility of the learning objects that we can expect from the IT specification and which are currently being developed by York St John & Leeds Met, in addition to any others that may be produced by ALPS, and to propose equivalents where necessary (e.g. transcripts for an audio file or complex visual learning object).
