E-learning accessibility

Also known as: Online learning accessibility, Accessible e-learning

The design and delivery of online educational content and platforms so that learners with disabilities can participate equally. This includes accessible learning management systems, video lectures with captions and descriptions, navigable course materials, and interactive elements that work with assistive technologies. E-learning accessibility is particularly important as education increasingly moves online, and encompasses considerations like cognitive load, flexible pacing, and multimodal content delivery to accommodate diverse learning needs.
