I gave this course 4 stars because some of the video was hard for me to understand. Maybe it was the audio. Also, some of the links dd not work.
The goal of this course is to promote equal opportunity and the full participation of students with disabilities in higher education by helping participants advance their awareness of the meaning of accessibility in education. Participants will gain competence and confidence in working with students by focusing on legislation, universal design, and assistive technologies. Thank you to Abbas (Bobby) Husain Quamar, Graduate Student Researcher in the Department of Rehabilitation Science and Technology at the University of Pittsburgh, for his contributions to the course.

This class is a great introduction to disability awareness and support and as a refresher course. Having worked in education for more than 25 years, I learned a lot taking this course.
I especially enjoyed hearing from multiple perspectives and reading posts from my peers on accommodations. The web links were an added plus.

Geared specifically to college professors, as opposed to general public. Could be more useful with more background information on ADA and IDEA and everyday implications. Could also incorporate mental illness and disability aspects.
It's a good course especially if you work at a university. Even though it has many interesting reading materials, a lot of the links are broken.
This was a very insightful course that exposed me to many new concepts, especially the legislation protecting individuals with disabilities in the U.S. I learned that almost all students with disabilities can fully participate in academic programs when provided with the right accommodations and accessibility tools. The course also broadened my understanding of how to address challenges faced by students with various disabilities in higher education. Overall, it has equipped me to become a better and more informed special educator.
I Loved it :) Participating for Gaining Knowledge from this Course about Accessibility was one of the Best Decisions I have made in my Whole Life so far as I really wanted to learn more about Accessibility.
Thanking All the Instructors & People who have worked behind the scenes to make this Online Course Absolutely Great. Thank you University of Pittsburgh & Coursera for allowing me to learn more about Accessibility.
I learned a lot from the Disability Awareness and Support course. I gained a better understanding of the challenges that people with disabilities may face and learned strategies for providing support and accommodations. Overall, the course was informative and helpful in improving my awareness and ability to support individuals with disabilities
A brilliantly structured course, with very thoughtful assignments. The pace of the course and the way information has been built in the for the students is awesome, and it gives an holistic understanding of disability support and helps create complete awareness of the subject. Loved it, and will expect a few more follow up courses as well.
This course has been fantastic! I learned a lot of the Laws of Disability and the Requirements that Institutions must provide. I have Epilepsy which causes me to be a slower learned, so it's good to be refreshed on what I did know, and for me to be updated on what I didn't know previously. Thank You!

This course gives a great introduction to providing Disability Awareness and Support! If you are interested in learning the fundamentals of supporting students with disabilities in a post secondary environment, I encourage you to take this course. The course is set up well, includes informational presentations and is well thought out!
This course offers an opportunity to learn about the various accommodations for students with disabilities in the Higher Ed setting. I was pleasantly surprised by the requirements to complete the course: readings, videos, and discussion boards. I had many takeaways (MOOC, UDL) and would recommend the course to other people.
This was an excellent course for learning a wide overview for Disability Support and Awareness at the college level. I really enjoyed the content and the interaction with the other students. This certificate will help me in my career as a Student Advocate and I appreciate Coursera for setting up this offering.
Very important course for teachers and lecturers who wish to understand more about disabilities and about students with disabilities who are enrolling to their courses. this knowledge could be benefitial as well to other students with hidden disabilities or other learning problems.
Was an excellent refresher for me as it encompassed several of my undergrad classes on the topic. I would recommend this course to anyone that supports individuals with disability through service, volunteering, or care of any form. Thank you for the opportunity!
I think that this course are too interesting and applicable to the reality, I learned about disabilities, Universal Design for Learning, and specific accommodations and tools for that. And also, I was practicing and improve my english.
I recomend it a lot.
I have learned a great deal of disability awareness & support within the higher education sector. The insight presented throughout each session, via video presentation, provided the resources, tools, and techniques for in classroom enchancement.
Material was very important and useful for my professional development. I learned a lot about accessibility with technology that i often use but had no idea had features that help make my content more accessible.
I am happy to complete this course, I benefited from important lessons i will then become an educator who knows how to talk to people with disabilities and non-disabled communities.
