Try Before You Buy

The JISC Regional Support Center has for the past twelve months trailed a scheme called" Try Before You Buy".This is a selection of technology that can be used with learners with learning difficulties. The kit bags are essentially loaned to the learning providers for up to six weeks. Each learning provider at the end of the loan completes a survey evaluating the equipment and it's suitability for learners with learning difficulties.
The results from the survey have been surprising and make interesting reading. the survey highlights that the equipment in the most has been used in the classroom environment. The tutors identify the pedagogical uses of the equipment and the types of challenges that the learners face before using the equipment.
