Further Responses from Free Text Questions

Some of the survey questions were free text answers, and are therefore difficult to present graphically, howver some useful answers were obtained. These are detailed below: 

Barriers to the use of the Toolkit:

• Additional costs (High speed internet or expensive PCs
• non-disabled students may be annoyed

• institutional policy - will need proper guidelines to implement
• insufficient resources to use these tools
• need for training
• need permission
• attitudinal barriers

Can you think of any ways the Toolkit might influence your curriculum, assessments, or delivery methods?

• new inclusion policy
• including everyone
• it will influence material creation
• it will be more effective and enjoyable
• Provide Structural Framework, resources and Strategies
• make a plan for the future
• Yes. I will redesign the course content to adopt the inclusive education system.
• Achieving learning outcomes
• yes, challenged students may get benefit from updated contents made by using these toolkits
• Apply different AI techniques 
• Yes, I will prepare slides with this toolkit.
• Some of my students have low vision and always want to sit front. But sometimes that is not always possible.
• Some students have a tendency to zone out. This toolkit can help me change my curriculum and delivery methods.
• It could influence my assessment techniques where the prior knowledge of the disability can help me assessing their answer scripts. 
• Checking the accessibility of the contents if those are accessible to the challenged students. We do not have a lot of challenged students in our class considering dyslexia or something like that, but we do have low vision issue, socially disadvantaged and others. So we can identify the need first, and then according to that we can use the appropriate toolkits.
• In our institution we use Blended learning center similar as Moodle, so most of the toolkits are already in use there.

What changes would indicate the toolkit has had a positive impact

• Policy making
• including everyone
• attention (engagement)
• the redisign of existing materials
• student feedback
• full implementation
• improved accessibility
• teaching moodle
• physical accessibility
• engagement with retention in disabled students
• aligning with Outcome Based Education
• adding a search bar to the site
• equal chance of getting help for all levels of students
• performance of the learner
• When we will see that more challenged students are comfortably admitting to our university and learning with the same pace similar to the normal students.
• the education plan for the students with special needs would be changed.

Out of place but valid points

• • I would like to search the diversasia website to find more tools which can help me to teach the students in a better way.
