<h3 align="center"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Accessible
Interactive Learning Tools </font></h3>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Learners of all ages,
from preschool, through university, professional upgrading, employment training
and life long learning are participating in educational programs delivered
over computer networks. One sector within Ontario that can benefit most from
this trend is the learner with disabilities. Network delivered instruction
is easily adapted to varying learning styles, rates, and communication formats.
Issues of distance, transportation and physical access are reduced. Electronic
text, unlike printed text, can be read by individuals who are blind, vision
impaired, dyslexic and by individuals who cannot hold a book or turn pages.
</font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Unfortunately, regardless
of the network used, network delivered education is not barrier free. At present,
interactive courseware and scientific simulations completely exclude students
who are blind or who cannot use a mouse. Interactive courseware is an important
strategy for animating learning and engaging the learner. </font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">A consortium of partners
representing consumers, experts in the field, developers and leading providers
of distance education will address these barriers. This component of the NIDE
project will design, develop, evaluate and implement interactive learning
tools that are inclusive to all Ontario learners. The partners have the expertise
and strategic alliances to exploit and further the development of leading
edge network technologies to achieve this goal. </font></p>
