Open Learning and Accessibility
02 September 2019
Online learning platforms such as FutureLearn, Coursera and EdX offer low cost or free access to learning. In this study we are exploring the experiences of people with disabilities, specific learning difficulties, long term health conditions or mental health difficulties who have taken courses using these platforms. Using a survey and follow up interviews, the aim is to inform how these platforms and courses are designed to be inclusive to all learners.
