Many teachers are aware of the benefits of small-group learning. However, implementation, especially in classrooms with communication challenges, can be difficult. For students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing (DHH) in mainstream classrooms, communication is most often supported through sign language interpreters and captioning. This model of communication through a third party was designed for traditional lecture courses--small-group learning is beyond its intended capacity. The authors present student perspectives on the use of a low-tech tool to facilitate communication for student workgroups with a mix of DHH and hearing students.
