Abstract
Employment opportunities for persons with disabilities are very much hampered by inaccessible
software. This is particularly true when those who are employed must engage in Continuous Personal
Development (CPD) but the online training platforms they must use are inaccessible. This paper
describes the platform developed by the members of the Enhanced Government Learning (EAGLE)
project team to produce a training platform for workers in rural municipalities. It outlines efforts made to
ensure the platform, and associated content, are accessible and usable by as wide a range of people as
possible.
