CALL (Communication, Access, Literacy and Learning) Scotland is a small unit within the Moray House School of Education, The University of Edinburgh. The Centre is co-located with the Scottish Sensory Centre. They were delighted to have celebrated their 25th Anniversary recently and a 25th birthday commemorative booklet is available. CALL is both a Service and a Research Unit. Service activity is limited by the amount of staff time available, but is open to anyone in Scotland concerned with communication difficulties, particularly in a learning context.
The team at CALL Scotland recently published a guidebook entitled iPads for Communication, Access, Literacy and Learning (iCALL). The Guide aims to support readers who are not necessarily technical specialists and who want to use the iPad with children or adults with additional support needs, special educational needs or disability.The book contains chapters on the following and can be accessed via this link:
- Getting to grips with the iPad
- Apps to support teaching & learning
- Accessibility Options
- iPad Accessories
- iPad Resources
- iPad in Assessments and Exams
- Managing & Implementing the iPad
- Glossary of Terms
- iPad Management using iTunes: some useful tips.
