Experts will discuss the ACTon study, which adapted a participatory video method for working online with students with disabilities

This event will be presented by Katie MacEntee, research associate, Faculty of Health, York University; Roxanne Mykitiuk, professor at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University; Brooke Magel, master’s student, School of Health Policy and Management, York University; and Iris Epstein, assistant professor, School of Nursing, Faculty of Health, York University

In this presentation, experts will discuss the ACTon study, which adapted a participatory video method for working online with students with disabilities and their instructors to explore issues of accessibility in experimental learning settings. The scholars will describe the research approach and discuss the challenges and successes of working virtually to collect and analyze visual data while still maintaining the study’s commitment to inclusive, participatory and community-based research principles.
