Graduate Courses
DIS 675C Supporting Multilingual Learners: Tech 
      Using technology is an effective way to connect with students of all learning styles and provide alternative ways to teaching.  This course is designed as a guide for teachers who are interested in using simple computer and internet applications to supplement their classroom lessons and increase student engagement and achievement.

DIS 682 Special Topics in Disability “Telling Our Stories”: Auto/biographical Portraits of Disability 
      This course invites participants to explore what happens when personal histories are told across different platforms. Tapping insights from Disability Studies and the emerging field of Transmedia (storytelling across different platforms), this interactive course examines examples of personal histories told in different forms, and invites participants, using simple digital authoring tools, to draw upon personal histories, primary documents, and personal accounts to create auto/biographical portraits. The course will interrogate assumptions about disability and deepen our understanding of the ways in which storytelling format may shape auto/biographical portraits.
