Make Disabilities Abilities with LMS Training

Page history last edited by coggnolms 2 years, 4 months ago

An increasing number of schools and vocational training courses offer LMS online and other special programs for people with disabilities. As the world becomes more technologically advanced, education and employment available for people with disabilities are multiplying. Furthermore, for many of these positions and training programs, disabilities are viewed in a new light--as advantages. 

 

 

A recent MSNBC article by contributor Chris Tachibana touched on 

precisely this topic. 

 

"A new movement helps hone unique traits of disorder into valuable skills," says Tachibana. He writes about Ron Brix, a man with Asperger Syndrome (a form of autism) whose success as a computer system developer was linked directly to his disability. His job required intense attention to detail, single-minded focus, and a willingness to work on something until it was perfect. 

 

 

Online job and vocational training programs are also convenient for people with disabilities. Using an LMS or LCMS to customize a company's or institution's training program, the possibilities are endless in catering to a wide range of needs and learning styles. 

 

 

Ergonomics, the science of designing technology according to human needs, has led to useful and fascinating developments not only for people with disabilities, but for everyone. The ease with which people interact with an LMS can be facilitated by ergonomic accessories. 

 

 

Various kinds of keyboards that make life easier for users include expanded, miniature, and chorded (with one key per digit per hand) keyboards. There are also large print keyboards with high contrast colors, such as black on yellow. Sticky keys, Clicklock and Togglekeys (two Microsoft Windows features) are still other assistive technologies that make online learning more accessible to all people.
