Recently there has been a renewed interest in making our E-Learning environments accessible for people who are blind, have low vision, are part of the deaf community, have mobility considerations, or have cognitive learning needs.
Part of this renewed interest stems from pending changes to the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Section 508 refresh…but it also comes from the needs of our maturing workforce. Many people can benefit from the same techniques used in making materials “accessible.”
This introductory review includes some of the latest policies and theories on E-Learning accessibility.
Topics covered include:
- “Universal Design” versus “Instructional Design”
- Critical points to alert or inform learners
