Technological Resources

Increasingly, higher education employs technology in delivering academic programs and services. UTSA is part of this exciting computer/internet based technological trend.

At UTSA (both in the 1604 and downtown campus), the following technologies are available in the Adaptive Technology section of the student computing labs:

  • Voice recognition (Dragon Naturally Speaking)
  • Screen reader (JAWS and Window Eyes)
  • Text scanning with Optical Character Recognition
  • Adaptive mouse (glide point, track ball)
  • Zoom text
  • CCTV
  • Braille embossing

These hardware and software technologies are for exclusive use by DS-registered students.

An adaptive technology specialist is available to familiarize students on the use of these technologies. To make an appointment for familiarization and training on the use of these equipment, including the use of course related technologies such as Web-CT and internet access, call the adaptive technology specialist at 458-4558.

In the 1604 campus, the student computing labs are located in MS 1.03.06 and BB 2.01.20. In the downtown campus, the computing lab is in FS 2.404.
