Distance Learning: How Accessible Are Online Educational Tools
More and more schools, colleges and universities are using online
educational tools that students are required to use to obtain course
syllabi, access lectures and associated material, participate in
class discussions, read course material, and receive grades and
feedback from instructors. These popular tools, such as Blackboard,
can frequently pose significant barriers to students with vision
loss because they do not work well, if at all, with computer
programs commonly used by students who are blind or visually
impaired to read content displayed on the computer screen.
The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is exploring ways in
which these popular online educational tools can be made more
accessible, but we need your help. If you are a student who has
used, or is currently being asked to use, such online educational
tools, a family member or friend of such a student, or a teacher who
has experience with such online tools, please complete our survey
and tell us your story.
We also encourage all recipients of this message to share this
announcement widely with your networks.
