Hello all,
I'm a student at Napier University writing an MSc dissertation on
teaching methods for dyslexics in the world of IT. I'm really
interested in how people have found higher education compared to
secondary school, and in particular dyslexics who are learning to
program, especially in object-oriented languages. How well has it been
taught to you? Is there enough support for you eg: extra time in
exams, more accessible textbooks etc? Do you have any suggestions on
how teaching might be improved in this area? Maybe a change in focus
is needed?
I'd be really grateful if you would fill in my poll if you have a
Livejournal account, which can be found at
