SVSTE 010 - Assistive Technology Seminar

Institution:

Landmark College

Subject:

Description:

Lecture To start, this non-credit seminar will provide students with a core overview of cutting-edge assistive technologies that can be an essential tool in helping them to succeed in a demanding academic environment. Students will be trained in three of the more frequently used assistive technologies at Landmark College: Kurzweil 3000 (text to speech), Inspiration (Concept Mapping) and Dragon Naturally Speaking (speech to text). They will receive additional instruction in basic file management, the MSWord reviewing toolbar, and PowerPoint. Once students have become familiar with the options available to them, they will be expected to identify which assistive technology they think would be most useful to them in improving their academic performance. Through regular individual conferencing with the professor and in small-group cohorts of other students with shared goals, students will be expected to identify how they will use the seminar to enhance their skill in using a particular technology. When applicable, students will also be encouraged to use the assigned work from another course they are taking to practice using a particular assistive technology to complete an assignment. Students will be expected to show the expertise they have gained via a final project or assignment.
