  • Abstract
    There is a growing acceptance of the need to move beyond the concept of the traditional virtual learning environment towards a Personal Learning Environment. This paper presents an approach to personalised development of learning applications tp support disabled students. Supported by a community of practice, we produced bespoke open source widgets freely available for use and adaptation by the wider community.
