Dear List Members:
The below research participant solicitation is being provided for
informational purposes only. The National Federation of the Blind has
no involvement in this research, but we believe that it may
contribute to our research mission.
Participants are still being sought for the below research project.
However, if you have already participated in this study, please
disregard this request.
Greetings, my name is Mohanna Almohanna, and I am a Ph.D. candidate
in Special Education at Texas Tech University. I am writing to
recruit students who meet the participant criteria to participate in
my research study. My target population is students or individuals
with blindness or visual impairment who have taken or are currently
taking an online university course using a screen reader program.
The main purpose of the study is to investigate how students who are
blind or visually impaired (BVI) perceive the implementation and
efficacy of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in online university
coursework. Another purpose of this study is to find out if UDL is
able to meet the needs of all learners who are blind or visually
impaired in an online classroom environment. Additionally, the study
hopes to contribute to the literature on UDL.
The principal investigator of this study and my doctoral advisor is
Dr. Rona Pogrund, Professor in the College of Education at Texas Tech
University. As co-investigator, I will be directing all email communications.
TTU also has a Board that protects the rights of people who
participate in research. You can ask questions of the Board at
806-742-2064. You can also mail or email your questions to:
