Make decisions with guidance resulting in practical solutions that can be readily implemented in inclusive classrooms.
This course is offered in 4 modules. The focus is more on students and curriculum rather than how technology works. Students will gain overview knowledge of a range of potentially helpful technologies as they relate to learner accommodation or curriculum modification strategies.
