Free, Flexible Web-Based Class Bridges the Gap Between Vision Impairment and Adult Literacy Education Fields

Participating in "Bridging the Gap: Best Practices for Instructing Adults Who Are Visually Impaired and Have Low Literacy Skills" just got a lot easier. The American Foundation for the Blind's (AFB) National Literacy Center has launched an online version of their long-standing program that integrates visual impairment and adult literacy issues for educators. æOriginally developed as a three-day group workshop, "Bridging the Gap" is now available to individuals, free-of-charge, at www.afb.org/btg.

Participants can register for the class online, and by simply choosing a username and password they can work their way through several content sections on their own time, at their own pace, and in a manner that suits their specific needs.
