  Resources

Student Resources
A number of challenges from a variety of directions can affect your ability to bring your optimal attention and energy to a course. Student Resources is a set of links to campus resources that UW makes available to students in trying to mitigate and cope with some of these challenges.

iSchool Technology Requirements
The iSchool has a set of technology requirements for both online and residential students. We highly recommend that students adhere to these standards which are updated annually. Students who do not meet these standards may experience technology problems throughout the course.

iSchool Learning Technologies Support Site

UW Libraries

 Disability Accommodations

UW Disability Resources for Students (DRS) helps students establish academic accommodations for their disabilities, and provides services to support them throughout the process. Their office is in room 011 of Mary Gates Hall, and they can be reached at 206-543-8924. To start the process, students submit an online accommodation request with medical documentation, then meet with DRS to discuss accommodation needs. DRS will then contact students’ instructors to arrange appropriate accommodations, and will support students in communicating with instructors. The process can take several weeks, so start early!

 Religious Accommodations

Washington state law requires that UW develop a policy for accommodation of student absences or significant hardship due to reasons of faith or conscience, or for organized religious activities. The UW’s policy, including more information about how to request an accommodation, is available at Religious Accommodations Policy. Accommodations must be requested within the first two weeks of this course using the Religious Accommodations Request form.

 Inclusivity

The Information School is committed to creating and sustaining an inclusive learning environment. Faculty are encouraged to write or adapt a statement of values in their own voice, display this prominently in their syllabus / course website, and discuss it with students on the first day of class. The statement should address topics such as:  

• Learning in an environment of mutual respect in the classroom, and giving behavioral examples of what that means.  
• Establishing guidelines for discussion of sensitive topics or having difficult conversations.  
• Promoting active listening and establishing the classroom (both in person and all virtual extensions) as a safe space for the sharing ideas and contrasting perspectives.  
• Use vocabulary and language the signals awareness of ideas and concepts regarding  equity, inclusion, and social justice.  
• Identifying one’s own positionality as it may relate to the subject matter of the course.
