Accessible eLearning

Also known as: Accessible Online Learning, Inclusive eLearning

Digital learning content and platforms designed to be usable by people with disabilities. For people with intellectual disabilities, accessible eLearning requires step-by-step approaches, visual demonstrations with audio narration, consistent layouts, familiar metaphors from learners' existing experiences, large icons and text, practice exercises with feedback, and integration of learners' existing skills rather than teaching from scratch. Research shows how-to videos with consistently arranged icons, text descriptions during mouse-over, and easy-to-follow visual cues are most effective for learners with cognitive disabilities.
