Distance Learning as a Levelling Tool for People with Disabilities

Abstract

Distance learning has brought phenomenal changes to the educational playing field. In higher education, variances of distance learning can mean blended learning, flipped classrooms, or video modules/components. While distance learning results in no physical in-person interaction, online supplements physical interpersonal interactions. This paper will focus on distance learning in relation to people with disabilities, demonstrating the challenges that are faced with providing access to learners.
