- Call for Interest:
-
- Meeting the Challenge, Inc. is interested in hearing from persons and
- institutions who would be willing to participate in a field evaluation of
- software developed for an NSF-sponsored project. The evaluation
- would be in the Fall of 1993, from about August 93 through Nov 1993.
-
- The evaluation would involve hosting a beta version of our software on a
- 386 class PC, running Windows, and using the system to identify appropriate
- accommodations for students with disabilities. While the evaluation plan
- is not designed yet, we expect to gather information from the participants
- on the value of the system in identifying appropriate accommodations in a
- variety of situations.
-
- We are most interested in gathering a diverse group of evaluators from a
- wide spectrum of educational institutions. For example, in the current
- project, we are working with a 2 year community college and a four year
- state university in our local area. What we are seeking is to expand
- the evaluation group to include:
-
- - persons who are very familiar (expert !?) in determining the needs of
- students with disabilities and identifying appropriate
- accommodations (both assistive technology and other forms of
- accommodations).
-
- - persons who are unfamiliar with determining the needs of students with
- disabilities and identifying accommodations, but end up doing it anyway.
-
- - educational institutions with a strong science and engineering curriculum
- who deal with issues of providing computer access to students with
- disabilities.
-
- We are contacting some institutions directly, ones that we know fit these
- criteria to some extent. If you are interested in becoming a test site or
- simply would like more information about this project, please send email
- to me at the following address:
