ENABLE Study

Welcome to the Enable Study! My name is Aoife and my research focuses on the impact of assistive technology for students with disabilities in higher education.

[Aoife McNicholl @AoifeMcNicholl]

Some really interesting research by @noreenacoyle in @DCUPsychology looking at perceptions towards disability and college supports. If you are a current student in HE you can access the survey here: https://t.co/OUHjSlF0Z5

Amer Latif, our Vice President of Sales, really enjoyed the session presented by @AoifeMcNicholl. She presented her research on students with disabilities. Did you know that one of the major reasons students did not ask for #AT was because of fear of the stigma around it? 😯

[ENABLE Study @EnableStudy]

Tuned in to #ATIA2021 presentation on building an inclusive learning environment. Removing ‘assistive’ from assistive technology and instead terming it inclusive technology to reach all learners. Making it the norm rather than exception @ATIAorg @mmatp - love it!

[ENABLE Study @EnableStudy]

Looking forward to presenting our research on #AssistiveTech and #identity among students with disabilities in #HigherEducation later today at #ATIA2021. Excited to also tune in virtually to other great presenters over the coming days @ATIAorg

Great initiative from ATIA for anyone interested in learning more about Assistive Technology! Free registration for selected sessions at the 2021 Conference

[AHEAD Ireland @aheadireland]

Hannah Kelly evoking powerful conversation with the #AHEAD2020 Student panel. Conversations about dealing with the present Covid situation as well as #AssistiveTechnology insights as there can be challenges for students with visual impairments when accessing learning materials.

If you missed the Week 6 #AHEAD2020 Webinar about #AssistiveTechnology and #CommunitiesOfPractice then this illustration by @SimonHeath1 recaps the amazing presentations by @DR_b_j_butler& @MarianSOTL_UCC from @UCC, @AoifeMcNicholl from @DCU, @cath_deegan from @WeAreTUDublin

[AHEAD Ireland @aheadireland]

In what way, if any, does the online genre of communities of practice change it's nature/essence? @DR_b_j_butler & @MarianSOTL_UCC from @UCC #ahead2020 What are your thoughts

[FreedomTech @FreedomTech_IRL]

@cath_deegan refers to FreedomTech research on cost benefit of #AT in higher education - it pays to give people the AT they need to support their education @ahead #ahead2020 @EnableIreland @DisabilityFed @longsiobhan

[AHEAD Ireland @aheadireland]

Webinar 6 of the #AHEAD2020 Conference is today at 2.30 IST. The red carpet is out as our majestic presenters are @DR_b_j_butler & @MarianSOTL_UCC from @UCC, @AoifeMcNicholl from @DCU, @cath_deegan from @WeAreTUDublin Register for this banquet https://t.co/9JpS9HxxcZ

[Aoife McNicholl @AoifeMcNicholl]

Why not create an AT community of students to share challenges and solutions in learning? Sharing innovative ideas across colleges and campuses may help solve problems quicker and initiate communities of practice #AT4lockdown @FreedomTech_IRL

Thanks to everyone who expressed interest in the study so far! However, we are still looking for students to talk about their experiences/perceptions of assistive technology use in higher education! Please keep liking & retweeting! @aheadireland @ILMIreland @MDI_Ireland

@ShanLara26 could you please follow me back? Just want to send you a DM in relation to my research on the impact of assistive technology for students with disabilities in higher education. I couldn’t find a UL email address for you as Equality and Diversity Chairperson
