Author Description

Most people working within the higher education sector understand the importance of making e-learning accessible to students with disabilities, yet it is not always clear exactly how this should be accomplished. E-Learning and Disability in Higher Education evaluates current practice and explores the tools, methods, and approaches available for improving access to online learning. This second edition has been fully updated to include recent developments in research on the e-learning strategies of impaired and disabled students, and includes an expanded number of case studies and student interviews that provide indispensible insight into students’ perspectives. Examining the social, educational, and political background behind making online learning accessible in higher and further education, E-Learning and Disability in Higher Education considers the role of, and provides advice for, the key stake-holders involved in e-learning: lecturers, professors, instructional designers, learning technologists, student support services, staff developers, and senior managers and administrators.
