| Learning Space is a highly functional course authoring package that offers a wide variety of pedogogical tools |
|
|
|
| in a relatively accessible environment. It does not provide ALT text for default images created by LS such as |
|
|
|
| navigation buttons, but does allow the designer to include ALT text for added images. Inconsistency between |
|
|
|
| various views requires a user to familarize her/himself with a new layout for each of the package tools. Frames are |
|
|
|
| frequently without an alternative; more so in the designer view. Tables have been used correctly so that wrapped |
|
|
|
| text in consecutive cells does not occur. Like each of the other packages assessed in this study, LS does not |
|
|
|
| reference accessibility issues in the help files or context sensitive help. |
