Students with mental health issues invisible on-line

Press/Media: Press / Media

Description

Most university lecturers familiar with the on-line learning needs of their students adjust their subject design and learning resources for students with physical disabilities. This has traditionally been a request for additional written materials, or the inclusion of captions on videos. More recently it has also included alternative text and formats for learning materials to meet particular student needs. Less common however is the request to adjust learning materials for students with mental health and wellbeing issues.
