Description

Elements of Accessible eLearning - In Action!
Tuesday, November 30, 2010 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM ET
A learning management system (LMS) has the power to improve learning and usability for students with disabilities by offering flexible learning paths and innovative methods by which to access information. Course materials can be offered in multiple formats that cater to different learning styles and can be interpreted by assistive technologies more readily than hard-copy materials. Join this session for an opportunity to experience first-hand the online learning environment using the accessibility features of Desire2Learn Learning Suite.
