Abstract
This paper will report on the accessible OpenStudy e-learning project that aims to narrow the digital divide of people with disabilities in Taiwan. Not only does the project deploy accessible e-learning infrastructure and service, it also applies an innovative experiential coe-tutoring technique in order to fulfill the objectives and the challenges of multi-cultural and multi-scenario e-learning. We also describe the methodologies that we use, and some of the results.
