Accommodations should be requested in the same way they are requested for onsite courses. To receive accommodations from a postsecondary institution, students should contact the campus disability services office for information about documentation requirements and procedures.

Informing the Design of Cyberlearning: A Promising Practice in Promoting Diversity in Cyberlearning

Screen readers can read text aloud to users but cannot interpret content presented in images.
