Advanced Learning Space as an Asset for Students with Disabilities

ABSTRACT

The paper describes an e-learning system called Advanced Learning Space that was developed at the Technical University of Liberec. The system provides a personalized virtual work space and promotes communication among students and their teachers. The core of the system is a module that can be used to automatically record, store and playback lectures. Recently, we extended the system by new features such as sound websites and lecture recordings with a sign language interpreter. This further enables students with disabilities to study the same courses as other students.
