Hi Christie, Flash is used extensively for creating E-learning courses and adding accessibility to Flash courses enhances the learning experience for students with special needs, provides authors and students with wider choices for creating and accessing E-learning courses etc. In addition, Flash helps to explain the complex concepts easily to students with learning and cognitive impairments, especially those having reading problems and those who find difficulties in understanding complex concepts.
Thus Flash can enrich the learning experience for all students and Accessible Flash can help to wards Inclusive Education.

Yes, Flash can be MADE to be accessible but what benefits does its use offer to justify all the things that must be done to make it accessible? Why not use a standard CMS approach, apply web standards, and link in alternate media? Then the text can be made larger and even the size of graphics, such as icons, can be increased with standard browser settings.
