Abstract

This research report focuses on the areas of dyslexia and e-learning. The basis of this report is to highlight the main problems that dyslexic people face, and demonstrate how a dyslexic user could benefit from such an e-learning application. The process of building an e-learning application is a complex task. Within my report I have discussed the necessary procedures that should be followed when developing an e-learning application, from choosing the right authoring tools to selecting the correct support features for dyslexic users.
