Adults with Disabilities, Computer-based Learning: Towards the Identification of Best Practice.
The potential benefits of using Information and Computer-based Technologies (ICT) as a means of enabling adults with complex physical and learning difficulties to engage in adult learning has recently acquired popularity in the UK.
