I had an interesting discussion from a participant from South Africa after the session. We discussed the useability and the necessity along with addressing learning styles to address ADA requirements. If you address the needs of the learner on one page the needs for ADA compliance will be addressed also. A student who has a visual disability will be able to access material that is audio, a student who is disabled physically and who can not use a mouse and will no be able to access what is in place for the kinetic learner but will be able access other available material and have the benefits of all material. So the class will truly be student centered.
