Abstract:

We are collaborating to create the Garden of Wellness, a web-based, interactive, "serious" game where women with disabilities can actively learn how to improve their physical, psychological, and social health. We hope this new learning environment will overcome attendance problems that prevent women from benefiting from seminars on this material.

Abstract:

This session will focus on solving the problem of accessibilities, which online students with disabilities face in distance-education courses that include multimedia components.
