Internet acted as a virtual host to the Symposium on Educational 
Applications of Technology for Persons with Sensory Disabilities held in 
Rochester, NY. At the end of each day, the captioned texts of the 
presentations were sent as e-mail to subscribers on the Internet. In 
addition, the following items have been placed on a Gopher at St. John's 
University:

 o   Opening remarks

 o   "Access to Next Generation Information and Instructional 
Technology:Will People with Disabilities be Able to Ride the Electronic 
Super Highway?" by Gregg Vanderheiden

 o  "User Characteristics and Preferences" by Philip Bravin

 o  "Technologies and Systems for Instructional Delivery" by Frank Bowe

 o  "Making Learning Environments Appropriate for Students with Sensory 
Impairments" by Lawrence A. Scadden

 o   Abstracts for all concurrent presentations

The National Technical Institute for the Deaf and the Rochester Institute of 
Technology have supported these innovations.
