This article is by Dr. Hoffman, Associate Professor and Coordinator of the ALIMA program at UCF. It provides guidelines for creating digital learning materials for those with accessibility issues, such as learning disabilities, or vision and motor impairments. The fact that I had no idea that's what the article was about (I was thinking about general accessibility for everyone) is an indication that this is a topic that deserves more attention, awareness, and application in practice.

Effective mathematics teaching is required to improve mathematics education. The experience that the teachers provide shape the students' understanding and their ability to use mathematics in their daily lives. This research study was carried out by a few UCF faculty members, as well as some from other colleges and universities. It focused on pre-service elementary school teachers and their ability to contextualize and decontextualize fraction subtraction problems by both writing problems and choosing problems that support given expressions.
