Abstract

While there are anecdotal accounts of student experiences as well as online pedagogical best practices being shared broadly online regarding the Coronavirus Pandemic of Spring 2020, there is a need for formalized inquiry and documentation of the experiences students with disabilities encountered during the Spring 2020 semester, both for historical accuracy and in order to determine what barriers or benefits ensued during the shift from in-person to online courses. This study investigates student experiences in order to learn about disability-specific and general barriers faced by students who were moved from traditional to online classes in the Spring 2020 semester at a 4-year private university in Eastern Mid-Atlantic region of the US.
