Using Mobile Apps to Enhance Learning

Posted December 05, 2018

By: Jonathan Coons

On this we should all agree: the revolution of smartphone adoption is over and it is no gross generalization to assert that each incoming SIUE student has a one. Given this, as educators, we should be past treating them like a nuisance fad, and we should be working to increase our students' knowledge so that they can properly leverage these ubiquitous tools. However, there is a gap in the ability of our students to be able to apply the actual capabilities of these devices,...

Microsoft Translator for Live Captioning

Posted December 05, 2018

By: Niki Glick

I recently attended a conference focused on improving accessibility in higher education. One big takeaway for me was that accessibility isn't just about disability; it's about providing as many opportunities as possible for people to learn, often by identifying and reducing possible learning barriers. Captioning is an example of improving accessibility because, not only does it remove the barrier audio-centric content could pose to students with hearing impairments, it can add cl...
