New technologies are transforming the way visually impaired students study http://www.theguardian.com/education/mortarboard/2014/may/28/visually-impaired-student-university-advice Robbie Morrissey 28 May 2014 I use my own laptop for coursework, my college's disability office assists me, and most lectures available as pdfs. I am sometimes asked about accessing help for blind and visually impaired students, and the truth is that not enough information is readily available.That's why I'm trying to raise awareness and have written about my own experience for the first time. Assistive technology like AshTechnologies' low-vision aids, or products like Dragon Dictate and built-in accessibility software on our smartphones, prove there are always new ways to help improve the way we live. 12/06/2014 6 What university is like when your eyes don't work well

Editor's Notes
- #8: How are we helping learners to thrive in a networked social context, where boundaries of many kinds are crossed? Do we actively address learners’ expectations about the digital environment and forms of digital learning in which they will be engaged?
