Global
ALFA Project
Benefiting those with physical, mental and/or environmental disabilities, as well as those who are unable to leave their workplace or families for an extended period of time by allowing them to be included in online e-Learning programmes, the Accessible eLearning For All (ALFA) project allows educators of all countries to create online learning packages in their own language that are completely accessible for all.
By developing a simple method of module creation, using an advanced content management system that is capable of producing accessible educational modules which can then be combined to create a complete course of study, problems of technical skills shortage and specific student needs can be addressed - students can learn at their own pace, within environments most convenient and conducive to their learning abilities.
Teaching materials for all academic and vocational levels and for all subjects can then be adapted and displayed online, allowing a worldwide life-long learning programme to be significantly enhanced and adopted by all. A significant amount of interest is being shown, particularly from India, for its potential of providing education of all forms to the widest possible audience. The ALFA project system will have no language restrictions, as it is being designed to process text rather than a specific language, and the system will overcome many obstacles in the development of the knowledge based economy.
