Universal Design and Technology: Students with Disabilities in STEM Fields
Abstract: The Universal Design and Technology for Students with Disabilities in STEM Fields is an NSF enrichment project that will advance the field’s knowledge of how Hispanic students with disabilities transition from high school to post-secondary education, which student interventions and faculty training strategies improve the success of Hispanic undergraduate students completing Algebra and Pre-Calculus gateway courses. Two goals of the project are: (1) Use technology to create an online learning center for faculty and students with disabilities in the gateway post-secondary math classes; and (2) Train faculty to use universal design, which will be completed through online training via Moodle.
