“…Disabled students report struggles in the provision of accessible or adapted learning materials (Claiborne, Cornforth, Gibson & Smith, 2011) and in particular in the provision of lecture notes (Brandt, 2011). These struggles are often linked to a lack of understanding and respect (Georgeson, 2009) It is generally accepted that technology can remove barriers to equitable education for disabled students and therefore promote inclusion of disabled students in HE (Kajee, 2010).Studies have also shown that generic technologies can help ease some of the difficulties associated with having to manage both disability and study (Gerrard, 2007;Graves, Asunda, Plant & Good, 2011). A number of surveys also reveal that disabled students are commonly using AT to support their studies (Fichten, Asuncion, Barille, Ferraro & Wolforth, 2009a, Fichten, Asuncion, Nguyen, Budd & Amsell, 2010.…”

“…El uso de los lectores de pantalla JAWS y NVDA contribuyeron en la mejora de las condiciones del aprendizaje de las personas con discapacidad visual, de la siguiente manera: manejo autónomo del computador, interacción social a través de las diferentes herramientas de comunicación (videoconferencias, chat, mensajería y redes sociales), conformación de redes de aprendizaje colaborativo, acceso a documentos y contenidos digitales relacionados con su interés y requerimientos para su formación académica. De acuerdo con los resultados encontrados por Kajee (2010), los estudiantes con discapacidad visual fueron capaces de construir su identidad en relación con la tecnología logrando avances notables en la sociedad del conocimiento y la información. Así, la tecnología y la educación se convierten en una oportunidad para relacionarse con otros, compartir sus ideas, opiniones y experiencias, hacen que el conocimiento se adquiera mutuamente y los procesos de aprendizajes sean cada vez mejores.…”

Kajee (2010) propone que el proceso de enseñanzaaprendizaje se base en la tecnología y recursos que les permita acceder a este grupo vulnerable a la sociedad del conocimiento y la información.…”

“…It has been determined that although higher education makes provision for AT and assistive devices, students with disabilities continue to be excluded from learning. A number of studies have been conducted to understand the continued exclusion of students with disabilities in teaching and learning in South African higher education [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. This particular study comes from a unique angle of using specific theoretical concepts drawn from Critical Disability Theory to understand the provision of AT and devices, as a way to promoting and enhancing students with disabilities’ learning.…”
