Engaging College Students on Collaborative Projects with People with Cognitive Disabilities through e-Portfolios
Lawler, James P.; Joseph, Anthony
Information Systems Education Journal, v17 n4 p70-81 Aug 2019
College students can be advocates for people with disabilities. Collaboration on community projects in a school of computer science and information systems can be desirable for people with disabilities and students. The authors analyze the collaborative impacts from courses in Web Design for Non-Profit Organizations with moderately impaired but nimble people with cognitive disabilities. The authors find course features of e-Portfolios facilitating the engagement and the advocacy of the students for mentored people with disabilities. The findings can help instructors in information systems in cultivating e-Portfolios on course projects of students with those with disabilities.
