Hello learned Internet researchers! I'd really appreciate some references to good research studies in *disability and e-learning for adult learners*. I am a PhD student in the UK and this is also a new area of research in the department (of educational research) at my university. I'm particularly interested in physical disabilities and the difficulties which learners (and possibly their e-tutors) might face. To narrow this down, I am not going to be venturing into the area of learning (cognitive) difficulties. My thinking is taking me towards the route of investigating the use of *adaptive/assistive technologies* by these learners. (Do these technologies always work? are the staff trained to use the software e.g. for magnification of text on screens? Are the assistive technologies compatible with the e-courses? This is where my thinking is right now, but I'm open to new avenues of research, which would come through the literature review, hopefully!) I'm going to be doing this smallish literature review (for a short taught module) so that I can hopefully identify a narrowed-down, specific area of research for the dissertation later on. many thanks, Ruth Topol PhD student, UK
