What are the main problems with accessing content in a VLE?
One of the main technical issues to resolve is how the content opens up – is it in a new window or actually inside the VLE? If an external web page is being accessed then it is useful for this to open up in a new window. If it opens up in the main frame of the VLE the display area will often be reduced considerably and if it is reformatted to be read by a screen reader then the new page and VLE will be reformatted together. Remember that if multiple windows are opened the user can become confused. The student will have to remember that they are in a new window and there is always a chance that they will accidentally close down the VLE. Even when users find a document easily, they may still discover that the content itself is inaccessible. If you have more of an involvement in the production of content further FAQs have been addressed.
