LexDis - Disabled Learners' Experiences of e-learning

In 2007 the Joint Informations System Committee (JISC) introduced the second phase of the “Learner Experiences of e-Learning” research projects. These projects were designed to “review and investigate how learners experience and participate in learning in technology-rich environments” (JISC, 2007) as well as (amongst several other aims) make recommendations for learning resource developers and those supporting students and promote learner involvement. The LexDis project was created with the distinctive aim of exploring issues and strategies developed by disabled students using the most participatory methods possible in an eighteen month timescale.
