Students can be provided with alternative methods to access class content. This can include books in an alternative format (digital, audio, large font), copy of lectures, assistance of a peer notetaker, a digital recorder to record lectures, or adaptive functions in Canvas.

Similar to alternative methods of class content, students may use adaptive technology to connect to class content. This can include dictation software, screen reading software, or even access to our Adaptive Technology Lab.
