An Initial Survey of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Student Use of a Composite Screen Solution Utilizing Web Conferencing Software

Published: 07 October 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Classroom learning must be addressed in order to provide an inclusive course experience for all students. This study examined the effectiveness of support structures for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) students in the form of a web conferencing system that allowed for a composite screen solution. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis indicated that DHH students rely on access services and accommodations such as sign language interpreting and priority seating in order to have access to content in a mainstream classroom. However, the usage by hearing students was higher than anticipated.
