[2] Johnson, Robert Clover, Ed.; Cohen, Oscar P., Ed. Implications and Complications for Deaf Students of the Full Inclusion Movement. Gallaudet Research Inst., Washington, DC. Occasional Paper 94-2.

Comments: Nice historical background of deaf education in argument for more than just full inclusion options for deaf students.

[3] Academic Engagement in Students with a Hearing Loss in Distance Education.

Comments: The effects of hearing loss on participation in distance learning courses was slight.

Comments: Transcribed text displays are a useful alternative to interpreters in the classroom for several reasons. This paper compared different methods of correcting errors in real time (mouse and keyboard, keyboard only, keyboard only with a table/grid).

Comments: Weird techy solution to a silly seating problem. Proposed use in classroom with majority deaf students. In this situation, students would either sit in a circle for best line of sight for all students, or the teacher would simply repeat the question before answering it. These solutions are much more reasonable than a camera that automatically zooms in on a student with a raised hand and displays video on a big screen up front. But, it would be fun to break the system by raising your hand while the teacher is talking or getting everyone to raise hands all at once. :)
