Accessibility in online nursing education for persons with disability.
As online teaching intensifies, literature about using and evaluating online teaching has flourished. What is missing, however, is a discussion of Web accessibility for persons with disabilities (PWD). The authors address the challenges that PWD face concerning Web accessibility, accessibility's evolution within universal design, application of accessible design principles, use of selected evaluation tools for appraising online teaching for its accessibility by PWD, and recommendations for moving forward.
