I have spent the majority of my live working with individuals with disabilities before coming to the field of training and development after recieving a MEd. degree. <br /><br /> My experience within this population is similar to the points made in this article. However, there is an added barrier for this population that includes the need for both assistive technologies AND elearning that uses the tenets of universal design. <br /><br />Like the low skilled populations mentioned here, there is a need for individuals with disabilities to utilize online education for the same reasons you mentioned. They have added barriers that exceed high speed access but are also important.<br /><br />Regards,<br />TanyaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
