Module 1: Disabilities Deaf/Hard of Hearing. The major challenge facing individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing is communication. Lip-reading, which is used by 10% of individuals who are deaf or are hard of hearing, can be misunderstood since only about 25% of spoken English words are clearly identifiable when lip-reading. Amplification of background noises by a hearing aid can distract and hinder understanding of verbal communication. This is particularly important to remember, when individuals who use a hearing aid are on-site for oral lectures, lab instruction, or exams.
Without captioning or a transcript for resources with video and/or audio, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing are denied access to the information conveyed.

Online Education: What are the best free online courses? (MIT's OCW, Stanford's SEE)
Educando a los hijos para la Web social. Transitamos por un cambio de ciclo, los niños que hoy tienen 5 años 7 años e incluso 14 años, son generaciones 100% tecnológicas para los que términos como disco de vinilo, casette, disquetes, no son más que reminiscencias de una época que, por desconocida, se sitúa en el mismo momento histórico que los dinosaurios. Son niños que han nacido bajo el paraguas de Internet y que acceden de forma precoz al uso y disfrute de las nuevas tecnologías, específicamente las redes sociales y sus juegos online, sin olvidarnos claro está, del uso y disfrute de los teléfonos móviles desde edades tempranas.
Existe una tendencia hacia la preocupación por el acceso y específicamente por el uso que los menores de edad hacen de la red, aspectos relacionados con su desarrollo e integridad vinculados a la privacidad y seguridad, son algunos de los temores que de forma recurrente, plantean padres, docentes y especialistas en la formación de los niños. Educar, no impedir Pongamos algunos ejemplos.
