Postsecondary students, perceptual disabilities and copyright reform

The Government should encourage the development of reciprocal international laws to benefit perceptually disabled students in the area of copyright. [...] The first section discusses the exceptions currently permitted under the Copyright Act, and gives examples of some of the adaptive technology that is currently being used in postsecondary institutions. [...] Donna Passey is the Coordinator of the Blind and Visually Impaired Services Unit, Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth and is also a member of the Canadian Association of Educational Resource Centres (CAER). [...] A record must be kept for each item, and there is the possibility that the institution will be required to submit a copy of the alternate format to Access Copyright upon request. [...] Subsection (1) presents the views of several experts in relation to legislation and the needs of the perceptually disabled.
