Research undertaken as MA dissertation via Ultralab, 2004. This compares the use of Interactive Whiteboards and Desktop computers with integral touchscreens by pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties.

Informal research undertaken over 2006, to look at how the use of Podcasting might support the language development of children with significant speech and communication difficulties.

You can listen to the original unedited vocal recordings, along with the edited versions, spread across the year, to compare the development of the pupils. There are also PDFs showing the pupils’ own comments on their performance, and a summary of the findings.
