Abstract
This study examined how college students with visual or hearing impairments were provided with information accessibility in their online classes. We carried out in-depth interviews with three visually impaired students and five hearing-impaired students in Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions and analyzed their experiences of information accessibility in online classes. It turned out that the effects of online classes on information accessibility for students with disabilities were ambivalent. For those with light visual or hearing impairments, online learning provided much greater information accessibility than offline classes. For completely blind and completely deaf students, however, online classes failed to provide any access to information. Of the online learning formats, recorded classes offered better information accessibility than live classes. Based on our findings, we made some policy suggestions to improve information accessibility in online classes for students with disabilities.
