    Summary: Users get lost inside PDF files, which are typically big, linear text blobs that are optimized for print and unpleasant to read and navigate online. PDF is good for printing, but that's it. Don't use it for online presentation.

  • Using Blackboard Collaborate to deliver online sessions with your students can help to bring together students at a distance whilst still enabling them to receive teaching materials and interact with each other. However, there are a few things that disabled students might find particularly challenging about accessing this type of learning opportunity.

  • It's particularly problematic where groups are formed of 'fence-sitters'. It only takes a few nay-sayers and the collective goal is thrown into question. The brokers have to be very persuasive, and well-prepared, in order to keep those on side.

    Reading this article in the Guardian got me thinking that Seale is missing an important factor for change that lies outside her suggested theories and frameworks; the increasing pace of technological advancement.
