Students may bring devices to class such as laptops or notetakers.
Students may have other assistive technology accommodations on their Accommodation Letters, including use of smart pens, use of calculators, use of laptops for typing essay assessments, etc. If instructors have questions about a technology or device-related accommodation they should reach out to the student and their assigned specialist.
Alternate format materials for those with print-related disabilities include: braille (literary and scientific), audio, large print, tactile graphic, and electronic.
Faculty may see this on a student Accommodation Letter but typically do not need to provide any extra materials. However, faculty must ensure posted class materials are accessible. RCPD facilitates the E-Text process in partnership with students.
Electronic text is a term used to describe print materials (often excluding graphics) available in machine-readable/computerized form. With today’s prevalence of electronic materials, faculty may also directly share directly with students.
