E-learning and Accessibility
Standards
Latest standards - Our systems can be tailored to display content that adheres to the latest web accessibility standards allowing content to display clearly and be available to any user.
Learning content authored will automatically pass www.W3.org XHTML 1.0 transitional validation.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential and are seen as the standard throughout the world on web practices and accessibility.
The Environment
The use of online learning is an important improvement that can have a significant affect on the environment.
As each student can take training that would previously have been at a location that they have to travel to, this equates to a significant increase in the carbon footprint for each individual. Other resources previously applied to traditional training methods also have an impact on the environment.
A method to assess the possible impact of an e-learning approach can be done by a simple calculation of a traditional training process taking into account the average mileage of each person attending and working out the total mileage for all students.
Given the access of e-learning content, carbon footprint can be vastly reduced as users can take training material without having to leave their workstation or home environment.
