ClassInFocus

ClassInFocus is an online multimedia classroom platform for deaf and hard of hearing students to access remote interpreters and captioners and improve their visual access to live, in-person classes.

The ClassInFocus research project is part of the DHH Cyber Community and is in collaboration with University of Washington, Rochester Institute of Technology, and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf.
