Abstract

Learners with disabilities need to (re) learn basic skills at all levels to enable them to lead more independent lives, to improve their literacy or numeracy, to gain employment or enter further education. Web-based Training - WbT has the potential to offer many advantages over traditional instructor-led training. In this paper after a listing of some barriers of (re-)learning of basic skills And of some ways to make WbT courses more accessible for disabled people, two ongoing European projects are presented having as one of the objectives the use of WbT for (re)learning of basic skills at people with learning and/or physical disabilities.
