SIGNALL II offers a course on Perspectives on Deafness (POD) that is accredited by Trinity College Dublin and offered as part of the Bachelor in Deaf Studies. The course focuses on Deaf Culture, socio-cultural versus medical perspectives on deafness and International perspectives on deafness. Experiential and evidenced-based material will illustrate experiences of deafness by using case studies and video materials. The principal aim is that this course will be offered as a distance-learning programme with fully accessible course content in each partner country through the development of an e-learning platform specifically devised for this course.
