AthabascaUniversity has a longstanding commitment to providing individuals of diverse populations access and an equal opportunity to succeed through the removal of barriers. Students with physical, sensory, psychological, learning and temporary disabilities or medical conditions are included within the context of diverse populations and legislatively are included under the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms. With respect to the latter, the concepts of “reasonable accommodation” and “undue hardship” have been applied to how a post-secondary institution interprets its responsibilities and how it responds to students with disabilities. In recent years, court decisions have asserted that educational and other institutions have a duty to acknowledge persons with disabilities as an inherent part of the diverse Canadian population that we serve and must accommodate. In accordance with the AU Policy for Students With Disabilities, accessibility and accommodation are the responsibility of all. Three principals philosophically guide practice:
- Accommodations must be fair to all students;
- Increasing access does not mean downgrading evaluation criteria for certain individuals or groups—rather, to facilitate in practice the opportunity for individuals to demonstrate the criteria for learning objectives by alternate means, and;
- To facilitate maximum student independence by building in access and reducing the need for students to rely on expensive and time consuming human or technical resources to access their course materials and complete assignments.
Hence, there are implications for the development of courses at two levels: content and format. Toward facilitating access to students with physical, sensory, psychological and learning differences, the following questions may be helpful:
Are there any references within the course materials that might be perceived as offensive or oppressive by individuals with disabilities, outside of the context of discussion content or questions for critical or illustrative purposes? Reciprocally, is there any content that identifies contributions individuals with disabilities have made to the field of study, or illustrates this population as fully participating members of society?
Does the course include learning objectives, assignments, activities, labs, and/or evaluation criteria which may restrict access to a student with a physical, mobility, hearing, visual, emotional or learning difference that cannot be achieved through alternative routes?
Are the text based materials (i.e. manuals and published texts), illustrations, tables, audio-visual materials, and online materials accessible to persons with physical (i.e. size/weight of materials, time limits on access), mobility, (i.e. location of materials, physical requirements of assignment), hearing (i.e. are materials close-captioned), visual, emotional or learning differences (i.e. are materials available in alternate formats such as audio recording, e-text—preferably html, braille, etc?)
Inherent within each of the aforementioned questions are countless other questions such as does the publisher produce the text in an electronic format on cd-rom? ASD is in the process of producing a handbook and will respond to any questions that would assist in the review of your materials, identify means that may be unknown to you, or to assist you at any stage of the development process.
