Accessible communication for teaching app research and prototype
Academia has traditionally served students who are able-bodied and able-minded. To include students with physical and cognitive disabilities, colleges and universities need to consider forms of engagement and participation that do not place disabled students at a disadvantage. Remote learning tools, such as those available in Zoom and Microsoft Teams, provide alternate means of communication that would be useful in classes with face-to-face meetings. I propose an app for use in post-secondary hybrid and hyflex writing classrooms. This app will facilitate networked communication among student groups as well as between individual students and instructors. I use design and accessibility heuristics to develop the wireflow through iterative design with a focus on the varying needs of people with physical and cognitive disabilities.
