H810: Accessibility Ahead

As you know, access to the the e-book version of Jane Seale’s E-Learning and Disability in Higher Education: Accessibility Research and Practice was a little problematic at the beginning of the course, due to restrictions on concurrent access and saving/printing. Many people ended up ordering print copies of their own. The Course Team was aware of issues and was working with Library to come up with some kind of a satisfactory solution. While they haven’t got the ideal solution, the situation has improved somewhat. Mary Taylor posted a message on the 21st of November in the course’s General Forum saying that an agreement had been reached whereby students could be given a one-time only download link to a DRM-protected Adobe PDF version of the e-book. It can be printed out or read offline, but you cannot copy and paste from it. Nevertheless, it is an improvement.
