Dystrain - e-learning for those supporting the dyslexic child
Welcome to the Welsh Dyslexia Project/Prosiect Dyslecsia Cymru website for an EU funded project on e-learning for teachers and parents.This website provides details of the project as well as the learning environment for parents and teachers.
Please note that the purpose of the project is to evaluate the system, and to determine what is good for the adult dyslexic learner in an e-learning context. Acceptance to this course is on the basis that everybody must provide feedback to the project in all respects, including accessibility, usability, readability, learnability and human contact.
If you would like to contribute to this project, or would like further information, please write to me Ian Smythe - ian.smythe@ukonline.co.uk
