I don't have a disability, and I took notes through university on a laptop. I could capture notes (which includes more than what were on the slides, like interesting questions and points) 10x faster than writing, and they were 10x more useful afterwards between legibility, searchability, and organization. The classes I wasn't allowed a laptop were notably harder because of it.
And no, I shouldn't need to go request specific accommodations for this, folks can move to the other side of the room (or ask me to move tbh, I wasn't attached to the seat) if the existence of a screen is that bad for them.

- Beltalowda 4y agoWhether it's a good policy in the first place is a bit of a different question than how to accommodate this policy to people with a disability; I just wanted to reply to that part. I don't really have an opinion about the policy as such; my education is from before laptops and phones and I have no classroom experience beyond that (i.e. I'm not a teacher).
