Hello, In thinking about OER users (learners with varying dis/abilities, in/from varying environments & cultures, etc.), I looked into various sets of personas that are already openly available. I was pleased to find that our AEGIS friends delivered a fairly extensive library of non-context specific personas of people with disabilities here:

At the same time, I ran into a book written by Shawn Henry about ways to incorporate accessibility thinking into the design process. This seems like an interesting analogue/complement/overlap to the work we've been doing in the Design Handbook and Inclusive Learning Handbook, and thought it worthwhile to pass along: http://www.uiaccess.com/accessucd/index.html Cheers, James
