Nacheva-Skopalik, Lilyana; Green, Steve – International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies, 2016
Access to education is one of the main human rights. Everyone should have access to education and be capable of benefiting from it. However there are a number who are excluded, not because of a lack of ability but simply because they have a disability or specific need which current education systems do not address. A learning system in which…
