Accessible General Use Technologies

Status: Ongoing Projects
Year: 2023-2024

Over half of the students with disabilities at Dawson College as well as at other institutions do not register for access services from their college. This makes it very difficult to reach them. Therefore the best way of ensuring that students with disabilities have an inclusive education is to ensure that they have access to accessible digital tools. We developed modules dealing making general use technologies that most faculty and students use.

This project is funded by Entente Canada-Québec (ECQ).
