Making learning accessible: Maximising the use of the iPad to support learners with diverse literacy needs.


All students, including those with diverse learning needs, including students with learning and literacy difficulties and students for whom English is not their first language, can struggle with the literacy requirements of school learning programs and curriculum content. They can find it difficult to access, participate and progress through the learning programs being provided, due to difficulties with reading, writing and organisational skills, and the way content is delivered.


Technology can play a key role in removing barriers and providing tools to accommodate the learning needs of all students. This ebook provides resources from workshops exploring the range of options on the iPad to assist teachers to optimise student learning, and to assist students’ to manage their own learning. The use of the research based Universal Design for Learning Guidelines were used as a framework to deliver the content of these workshops.
