It’s not the content of his lectures. It’s not the room, his lecture style or even the students. It’s the accessibility of the lesson that’s come a long way, thanks to new software and help from Information technology Services (ITS) at Western. Five years ago, Zinke-Allmang had a hearing-impaired student in a class that packs more than 1,000 registered students into North Campus Build- ing 101. “She needed to be able to do lip- reading, and that’s next to impossible in that room. We had to arrange to move that student to attend a smaller class, and this was not the choice of the student,” Zinke-Allmang said. “So, I was very happy this year when it worked out quite differently.” Zinke-Allmang has two hearing- impaired students this time around and has arranged a new way to pres- ent them with the same classroom experience available to the rest of the class. As Zinke-Allmang teaches, his lectures are recorded using Black- board Collaborate, a virtual classroom environment facilitated by ITS. On that system are his preloaded Pow- erPoint slides, upon which he makes notes during the lecture. Everything is recorded by the system. For hearing-impaired students like Ashlee Banyard, the program has a closed-captioning option.
