Facilitators: Catherine Fichten and Jennison Asuncion
Description: For the past three years, the Adaptech Research Network has been investigating the accessibility of eLearning (e.g., PowerPoint in the classroom, online tests) to Canadian college and university students with visible and invisible disabilities.

During this seminar, Jennison and Catherine will describe the research and share some early findings from their 409 research participants:
- college and university students with disabilities who have used eLearning
- professionals who provide disability-related accommodations on campus
- faculty who have taught a course where they used some form of eLearning and had at least one student with a disability in that course, and
- individuals who support/drive eLearning at their institution.
