PUT SLIDES UP WELL IN ADVANCE OF
LECTURES
“One thing is put slides up before lecture so I can read it before
lecture and terp (interpreter) can prepare cos some tech words
have no sign and some words terp doesn't know what it means
and needs to ask around other terps to find out sign for before
lecture. If nothing else then terp and me can decide on agreed sign
for that lecture only; a made up one.
A lot of them (tutors and interpreters) think it’s simple like English
translates into English signs which it doesn't. “

..For the cognitively challenged, for people who learn better
by reading than listening, for people who need to use a
screen reader and may not find it as easy to use audio
software to access the recording.. (The list of positive reasons
for using audio and transcriptions could take up the rest of
this slide and more besides..)
