Presentation on tools for accessibility and universal design to help improve literacy, focusing on learning disabilities (at least in the two examples). All the tools noted are free. Even though this is geared mainly towards face-to-face teachers, many of these tools can be used for e-learning too.

Research showing that, at least in some cases, doing two tasks at the same time is actually more efficient than doing each separately.

Maybe basic skill sets for schooling should not be thought of as the 3 R's (reading, writing, and 'rithmetic), but rather beyond the memorization of facts and procedures, the efficient working of working memory and long term memory, the strategic use of brain resources for dynamic problem solving and multi-tasking, and the organization of ideas and perceptions for all types of output: verbal as well as non-verbal.
