When talking about e-learning accessibility, it’s hard for most people to imagine what it’s like for a disabled person to navigate the internet. It might seem that accessing any platform is the same for everyone.
For example, you might think that online courses are already inclusive since people can take them from the comfort of their homes. So they’re not missing out, right?
As a knowledge entrepreneur, if you fall into this way of thinking, you might lose learners.
On the one hand, people with disabilities indeed have more chances of participating online than in-person at learning events, classes, etc. On the other hand, they still need adjustments.
You’d think that the pandemic is an opportunity for them to be present at all sorts of online happenings. However, millions are still left behind due to a lack of accommodations, such as close captions for videos.
