The focus should be on fluency not accuracy.tag:goodboyrex.blog.co.uk,2007-07-23:/2007/07/11/computer_aided_assessment_or_e_assessmen~2613119/#c4154093Sam2007-07-23T10:36:40+02:002007-07-23T10:36:40+02:00Read 700 articles on Dog Training and Care at http://www.tktic.com/dog/tag:goodboyrex.blog.co.uk,2007-07-15:/2007/07/10/blog_for_trainers~2611245/#c4079080Penny2007-07-15T17:20:33+02:002007-07-15T17:20:33+02:00My experience is with students within our Learning Development department at a FE college. These students have difficulties ranging from light (dyslexia, behavioural problems) right through to profound (limited capabilities with lack of speech, so communication is difficult through to virtually impossible). I see e-learning as one escape route for them. All our students have more abilities than are obvious to everyman, and I am continually surprised by how much they CAN do. We are starting to build a small plant-raising retail nursery at college, and I am hoping to use the knowledge that I am gaining on this same course to set up opportunities for them to participate in new (for them) ways. Watch out for developments!!<br> <br> All the best, Penny
