During the Symposium, three participants, representing the perspectives of "post-secondary", "K-12 education" and "instructional technology", have been asked to attend as many diverse sessions as possible and keep track of their impressions (through the eyes of their respective specialties).

At the "Recommendations" session, scheduled for 1:30PM in Panara Theater on Wednesday, June 27, 2001, Dr. Jeff Porter will ask each of these individuals to provide a brief overview of their impressions as to the most significant challenges and opportunities facing the application of instructional technology in support of deaf and hard-of-hearing learners. After these three reviews are complete, there will be an open discussion of the issues, with the goal of providing direction for the final form and substance of the Recommendations Report. Dr. Porter will then summarize the significant issues addressed during discussions the session and will outline the general themes the Recommendation Report propose.

We invite you to add your views and insights to this discussion by completing this Input Form. You may submit as many forms as you wish. However, for your comments to be included in the summary of recommendations session at the Symposium, you must submit them by Tuesday, June 26, 2001 at 4pm.

Additional comments will be included in the final report, if submitted by July 14, 2001
