When university classes moved online at the beginning of the pandemic, Julia Denley could finally watch her lectures without severe pain that made it next to impossible to focus. Denley has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a genetic connective-tissue disorder that causes her joints to be hypermobile and dislocate easily. Denley is part of a group of disabled students at the university campaigning for online learning options alongside in-person classes. Sophie Papp, a spokesperson for the campaign and part-time UVic student, said the past 18 months have shown that online classes are possible.
