University students with learning or sensorial disability often face huge difficulties in accessing campus facilities and, specifically, lectures. Many universities offer a wide range of support services to overcome such issues, but this is not always enough. This paper presents CATS, an ongoing research project involving three Italian universities, aiming to design and test technological solutions directed towards a better support to accessible lectures. By providing students with a set of experimental, advanced tools, the aim of the project is also to foster inclusive practices. The solutions described here share the principle of being adaptable to the real needs of the students, which are measured using ICF*, an adapted version of the WHO ICF model.

Abstract

University students with learning or sensorial disability often face huge difficulties in accessing campus facilities and, specifically, lectures. Many universities over a wide range of support services to overcome such issues, but this is not always enough. This paper presents CATS, an ongoing research project involving three Italian universities, aiming to design and test technological solutions directed towards a better support to accessible lectures. By providing students with a set of experimental, advanced tools, the aim of the project is also to foster inclusive practices. The solutions described here share the principle of being adaptable to the real needs of the students, which are measured using ICF*, an adapted version of the WHO ICF model. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH Berlin Heidelberg.
