Accessibility of Tools for Synchronous Communication - Dagmar Amtmann, Debbie Cook, Kurt Johnson; National Center on Accessible Information Technology
Online distributed learning, also referred to as distance learning, has grown exponentially throughout the last decade. Online learning management systems (LMS), such as Blackboard, WebCT, Learning Space, E-College, Prometheus and numerous proprietary systems developed by educational institutions are increasingly used to deliver web-based content and create online education environments. These systems, also sometimes called courseware, offer server-based course management that integrates learning tools, utilities, and curriculum content. A list of tools that instructors can choose from is long and includes calendars, assignment tools (for giving assignments and submitting student work), classroom discussion tools, tools for viewing grades, evaluating progress, tools for sharing work and peer review, and many other others.
