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

 

 
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
