| Sumario: | Report from a project that developed e-books customised to the learning needs of students studying specified units of study through the Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledge and Education (Charles Darwin University in association with Batchelor Institute NT) and Warawara Indigenous studies unit at Macquarie University NSW. As the eBooks were developed using universal design principles, students with either sensory or learning disabilities are able to access learning materials using the assistive technologies built into the hand-held devices. This removes the necessity for students to identify that they have a disability, or seek out special assistance. This project is based on concern raised since 2007 to Macquarie University accessibility services (MQAS), of issues surrounding Indigenous students with disability not presenting for the same level of assistance as the general student body, a pilot study lead by Roslyn Sackley in 2011 on Indigenous students and AccessAbility and consultation with NT colleagues. |
