I teach a class which explains the use of tech by different 
disabilities. There is a 12 meg database on the subject which I have 
also which is extensive and deep. There are some nice options. Adult ed 
is 4 weeks and only a paper is due. In masters (transferable credits) 
there is a midterm final and paper due as well as required statments 
weekly of at least 50 lines. 
 
I have also had each stuent do a project. One did a paper on phonemic 
code and how a voice box works. One education major wriote how 
computers are used in education. One organization psych major explained 
how this tech can be used in the workplace. One special ed major wanted 
to explain how the different disabilities use tech to learn. he is now 
setting up a small lab for jr High students in Canada. Another made a 
tactile graphic screen moniter.. he was my PhD student! So the project 
is the most creative part of the class. It is totally individual. 
 
Dr Levinson is a genius at having formulated this in 1985. It is a 
strong marvelous way to learn and to teach. I hope it intrigues you 
enough to look into it. Imagine.. you are in Michigan and can take a 
class in NYC without leaving your home! How nice! I think this kind of 
educaton has a grand future.
