For a quadriplegic or other mobility-impaired student, it's a major ordeal to come in to our Adaptive Technology Services computer lab to get files. With Netscape, they can easily access the same files from their computers at home simply by dialing into the Web. It's just a matter of time before everything will go into this system. The capabilities of this system are encouraging more students with disabilities to get the help they need. Approximately 63 students are currently using the system.
Students love it.
They went from having nothing to having everything. Now that students see that it's easy, they are coming forward and asking for our help. As a result of simplifying the process, we are actually serving a higher percentage of students than before. As our society moves toward a more decentralized mode of education, a lot of it is going to take place through the Web. The global classroom brings information and technology to your fingertips.
