Yes, this. I saw a piece with the tagline & #39;the ease with which universities have moved teaching online shows they could have been accessible all along& #39; and while I am *very* sympathetic to the intention there, a) what & #39;ease& #39;, b) & #39;moved teaching online& #39; elides SO MANY problems https://twitter.com/HPS_Vanessa/status/1250310769855492096">https://twitter.com/HPS_Vanes...
Three things that are true: a) higher education has systematically and unacceptably failed disabled students and staff for decades; b) the current situation is a stopgap, which has taken untold hours of (often uncompensated) labour and stress in an unprecedented context...
c) online pedagogy is a set of skills, and to do it properly - and to be properly accessible through it - requires training and support and investment, and this kind of teaching will not look like the sort of & #39;idk, just record zoom lectures& #39; people are being required to do now.
