Pamela Farron, a Disability Services Coordinator at Berkshire Community College, observed a rise in student requests for accommodations like note taking, reading assistance, and extended testing time.
Due to a lack of documented disabilities, many requests had to be denied, causing frequent discomfort.
Pamela advocated for Genio Notes to be implemented campus wide and can now help countless students who wouldn't have qualified for traditional accommodations.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) expands the principles of accessibility and inclusion beyond physical spaces to the design of teaching and learning experiences to meet the needs of diverse students.
Think of it like those sidewalk curb cuts. Designed for accessibility, but they also make life easier for parents with strollers and people carrying heavy loads.
Implementing UDL principles and making assistive technology like Genio Notes available across campus is the key to removing accessibility barriers and supporting more students.
Every student on your campus will get access to Genio Notes - ensuring no student gets left behind.
84% of students using Genio Notes improve their grades. Give more students the benefit of using Genio's scaffolded note taking process.
Enable more UDL experiences with Genio Notes' rich feature set allowing students to engage with class materials by multiple means.
