Students who are deaf already face challenges accessing college and university, but the pandemic has intensified many of these issues and raised new ones. During this session I will highlight the issues faced by deaf students in accessing online and socially-distanced learning. I will offer some suggestions as to how we can improve access and support for deaf students in colleges and universities.

Messages from International Experience
Ian Beach HMI, Education Scotland
This session is aimed at managers with responsibility for the delivery and evaluation of online learning and teaching. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic colleges have been forced to make an abrupt shift to remote learning, often existing in makeshift offices. Join us as we examine the challenges that this new environment presents and the lessons learned thus far from approaches developed in other UK nations and further afield.
We will share our thoughts on what leaders have learned about how to manage their institution during this difficult time and how they are addressing the challenges now and anticipating those in the future. Colleagues will be invited to join the discussion, raise questions and contribute examples from their own experience.
