Distance learning for adults with SpLDs
The question how to organise distance learning for persons with special learning difficulties arose long before the start of the pandemic. In 2012-2013, the Open University in UK implemented a staff development project on teaching modern languages (ML) to persons with dyslexia. Throughout the project, 12 ML teachers tried to:
- develop understanding of key issues in relation to ML learning and dyslexia,
- share good practices through reflection and collaboration,
- find effective methods and strategies to support adult learners with dyslexia,
- facilitate the joint design of learning resources for the online environment.
