Abstract
Online instructional tools are quickly being introduced, often before accessibility is incorporated into their design. This article defends the use of a popular, but highly graphic, web-based platform called Padlet in a writing course, using strategies that allow students who are visually impaired (i.e., those who are blind or have low vision) to participate in collaborative class activities, promoting equity and inclusion. It also highlights student feedback from an institutionally approved study that identifies accessibility concerns with Padlet, as well as other common educational technology used in all disciplines.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness is the essential professional resource for information about visual impairment (that is, blindness or low vision). The international peer-reviewed journal of record in the field, it delivers current research and best practice information, commentary from authoritative experts on critical topics, News From the Field, and a calendar of important events. Practitioners and researchers, policymakers and administrators, counselors and advocates rely on JVIB for its delivery of cutting-edge research and the most up-to-date practices in the field of visual impairment and blindness. Available in print and online 24/7, JVIB offers immediate access to information from the leading researchers, teachers of students with visual impairments (often referred to as TVIs), orientation and mobility (O&M) practitioners, vision rehabilitation therapists (often referred to as VRTs), early interventionists, and low vision therapists (often referred to as LVTs) in the field.
