‘Black holes’ of learning
1 – Reading documents on screens – most learners don’t know how to use alternative views of documents.
2 – Alternative formats - 84% FE librarians sampled have never obtained digital copy for dyslexic learners.
3 – Mobile devices – most users are unaware that course PowerPoints could be adapted for mobile phones.
