Providing Equal Access of Information to Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Online Courses
Dr. Sam Slike, a professor at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, discusses his use of Wimba to provide college courses to deaf and hard of hearing students. His innovative courses use a sign language interpreter broadcast through a web cam (and simultaneously broadcast via a Sorenson videophone); closed captioning of spoken lecture material via Caption Colorado; PowerPoint slides; text chat; and spoken lecture. His presentation will provide an overview of the deaf/hh population; general challenges encountered in providing equal access of information for this group of individuals; and creating an online course for deaf/hh and hearing students using Wimba as the delivery tool.

4. Creative Uses of Online Technologies for Campus Communication & Disaster Recovery
Creative Uses of Online Technologies for Campus Communication & Disaster Recovery
A fire broke out in the main campus building of Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, TX on May 6th at 7:30 p.m. and burned into the early morning hours of May 7. No one was injured at this small, close-knit college. More than 100 firefighters fought the flames, which were started accidentally by something electrical in the attic. Rebuilding will take three years or longer. This presentation will explain how OLLU used technologies such as Wimba Pronto to communicate among faculty and staff, thereby facilitating a successful end to the Spring 2008 semester. Moncado will explain how the school creatively used technology to cope with the damage to its classrooms, computer labs, faculty and administrative offices, conference rooms and more.

Instructors at CSU, Chico have taught classes that met to face-to-face but simultaneously had students logged in remotely via Wimba Classroom. For years, instructors at CSU, Chico have taught classes that met to face-to-face but simultaneously had students logged in remotely via Wimba Classroom. These remote students were able to see the face-to-face teacher via video and a student assistant even took remote students' questions.
