LMS Access
LMS Access
The idea behind the development of the learning management system (LMS) is to provide remote access to the material that is required for learning. Th system that I have been teaching for the last 5 years do prefer the LMS over handout or PDF files. For example, my former student that is visually imparied used the LMS much easier than the book. She toldme that it was easier for her to use the screen reader when she did not have to try look all over the place for the information. Another example, my physically impaired student from an auto accident could not participate the same lab activities because of thelong standing, so she acted as the recorder for the lab. To get the help your student's need to successed is always a balance between money, expert help, and time of the instructor. A good hint for a teacher working on access issues is to ask outside your working area.

End of the semester
The end of the semester is finally here. I have 13 meetings scheduled over these next two weeks. I had 5 already and 2 today. I can't get anything done. Issues such access control have very difficult, but I think it is over. The state rules according to the DIR agency say 10 minutes of inactivity, and you have log back into the computer. This is to prevent illegal access.
