Abstract

This study establishes a theoretical basis for an extension of a previous: typology of design elements of online courses to include elements specifically impacting students with disabilities. The prevalence of these special design elements is then examined from the results of a survey of existing online courses. It was found that these courses do generally include design elements necessary to meet the basic needs of students with disabilities, but that as more students with more sophisticated needs enroll in online courses, the design of these courses must further evolve. This study involved two components: identifying the design elements applicable to special needs populations and reporting the frequencies of those elements in contemporary practice. The Study includes design variables from course, lesson, and assessment levels and contains 156 elements and 600 data points. Next, the study addressed the frequency with which each selected element appears in online courses.
