This chapter discusses an eLearning platform that is usable by persons with low vision. To start with, such a platform is achieved by incorporating technological advances such as: use of text with the highest possible contrast; use of varying font size; among other customized Human Computer Interaction (HCI) effects. Moreover, use of complicated, decorative or cursive fonts should be avoided, as well as italic text and capital letters, which can be difficult for users with reading impairments. In summary, this chapter supports the fact that eLearning is possible for persons with low vision, provided that all the necessary technological advances have been considered.
The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive systematic literature review of digital learning strategies within universities (institutions of higher learning) in developing countries. Further, the paper seeks to identify gaps for further research, as well as point out future research agenda for digital learning strategies within universities in developing countries.A structured literature review method was used in this study. Journal articles published between year 2011 and 2021 were reviewed to inform this study. A total of 16 articles were identified and reviewed.From the findings, strategies for digital learning are not to be ignored for optimal delivery of digital learning both for the student and for the instructor. Future research should leverage big data produced from the use of the learning platforms and investigate how the incorporation of advanced learning technologies could advance institutional value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
