This module talks about the difference between access verus success, WHo Holds The Documentation, Who Makes The Decision, Who Delivers The Service, Thinking Outside THe Box, Relating Documentation to Accomdation, Ocer-Accomdation and Unfair Advantage, and Unversal Design. Universal Design was first used by architect Ron Mace in the mid-1980s to descrive the concept of designing all products and the environment to be usable to the greatest extent possible by everyone. Ron Mace would have wanted that in our society today that we rarely think about its importance or its impact in our daily lives. An example of Universal Design is… >>>

This module is very helpful because it talks about a lot of stuff. The key is to allow students to reach their potential on what they want to pursue in their career. From my experience, I have autism and I had an accomdation that was extended test time on my tests.

At our institution, I think we have improved drastically in our understanding of and provisions for "reasonable accommodations".

Hi all,

I enjoyed the training, I do feel that the requirements are too stringent but I learned alot and still enjoyed the CM102 traning and it was great.  How does eveyone else feel about it?  Has anyone else taken it before.

When is it ok to acknowledge that a student is not successful in a particular course. We give them the information; positive, negative and optional, allow them to make the decision to either stay and fail or move on to another program that they are better equiped. I understand that accomadating students for success is not the same as them being successful but if the instructor can see that the student and the career path are not in line when and who tells the student the truth. Or do we allow them (the student) to spend (or waste) a great… >>>
