Online learning offers a flexible and convenient way to learn new skills. But if it's not accessible to all, online learning can worsen educational inequality. It can also lead to legal risks. Section 508 requires that federal agencies make technology accessible to those with disabilities. 

For these and other reasons, it's crucial to ensure that eLearning platforms are accessible to all. 

This takes effort and planning. Learners have diverse abilities, disabilities, and learning styles. These may include:

Did you know that there are more than 1,000 LMS vendors from which to choose? With all these options, selecting the right LMS for your organization can feel like an impossible task. But it doesn’t have to be.

The result was a surprising consensus that the term “digital learning” should be used differently than the term “eLearning.” According to our team members, digital learning should only be used when referring to the learner’s perspective. The digital learner participates in digital learning by consuming digital content, using digital tools and engaging in digital experiences.

With eLearning playing an increasingly vital role in business success, finding the right eLearning development company becomes a crucial first step. In today’s highly competitive economic environment, organizations are developing eLearning courses to train their workforces, provide additional value to customers, and generate revenue.
