About This Publication

In the face of increasing provision of multimedia learning materials, it is important that we ensure that all learners – including deaf learners – have opportunities to participate fully in learning programmes.

This e-guideline will look at the ways that e-learning can be used to improve the learning experiences of deaf learners. It includes practical approaches to simple but effective PC adaptations and accessing valuable teaching resources.
