While several federal laws address web accessibility, the most widely adopted and comprehensive technical standards have emerged not from a law, but from the W3C Web Content Accessibility Group. The WCAG standard is the most detailed, up-to-date guideline for creating accessible web content.
Web 2.0 and Emerging Learning Technologies/Web 2.0 Learning Styles describes how technology Web 2.0 tools are used to enhance students learning. Furthermore, Howard Gardner's learning styles are discusses as well and his theory of Multiple Intelligence. Finally, the main characteristics of the Web 2.0 learners are summarized.
In addition to theories of multiple intelligences and learning styles there are issues related to learner personalities. The widely accepted traditional model of education too often fails to consider all these areas. Some teachers, however, address the kind of senses (auditory, visual) the learner uses, the learner's aptitude (Theory of Multiple Intelligences), and the personality type.
