Gentle Reminder This is a gentle reminder for the Ashoka University webinar on giving exams using computers instead of requesting a Person without Disability to become a scribe and paying for his/her time. I will share my knowledge on the questions that other speakers have responded to, and I have invited a few people for further guidance. In today’s webinar, there are many things that can be helpful for you. Please join us today at 11 AM and feel free to share this message with others.
