[Nfbnet-members-list] Research Study on Implementation of Universal Design for Learning in Online University Courses

[Blake, Lou Ann]

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:

Human Research Protection Program

a link to the study survey and also an Information Sheet about the 
study. For any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
