"According to the Australian Disability Clearninghouse on Education and Training (ADCET) The number of students with disability in university study has increased from 11,656 in 1995 to 42,111 in 2011 and that one in five people in Australia have one or more disabilities, which is increasing. This means that 1 in 20 students has a disability that impacts on their study. Improving student outcomes requires us to "build-in" equitable policies and practices across the organisation, as statistically as much as 20% of the student-body need it, and have a right to it."

Add voice reader of page content to your web page. How could this be used and not be distraction. Beyond accessibility?

Better late than never as I have just joined this group. ReadSpeaker provides text to speech (TTS) engines for websites and iOS and Android apps which combine text reading with word by word text highlighting on any end user hardware.
The service has a growing range of early Australian adopters including Centrelink, Comcare, Dept of Health and Ageing, Dept of Human Services, FAHCSIA, and the Australian Paralympic Committee. In elearning, adopters include Gale and Cengage.
I would be happy to provide information to interested elearning professionals and I can be reached on richard.ings@readspeaker.com.

Summary of the main learning theories
Educators have had to work out how to move from the theoretical position to the practical one of applying these theories within an educational experience. In other words, they have had to develop teaching methods that build on such learning theories. - See more at: http://www.tonybates.ca/2014/07/29/learning-theories-and-online-learning/#sthash.xcYNEKOe.dpuf
