Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

This research shows how information services staff, teaching staff and procurement staff in higher education need to consider the learner profile when ordering technology products. If this focus on the learner profile is absent the technology that was considered to be a key learning tool will become a barrier to student learning, as students are locked out of their account or take significant time each class to login. Some suggestions for way to support learners with additional learning need to use technology effectively are included.
