This study investigated how higher institutions of learning where almost 100% of the students’ population had social media as their nearest companion during and after school – give school a wide interpretation to include all teaching-learning centers. However, this study focused on linguistic competence of the learners who were DHH to cope-up with the assigned academic tasks in higher institutions of learning for inclusivity in a web-based learning environment.enInclusivity of the deafHard-of-hearing (DHH)Web-based educationHard-of-hearingHigher Education InstitutionsInclusivity of the DeafUgandaWorking Paper
