Online education is evolving rapidly. It is supposed to provide equal access to all learners, regardless of abilities. However, in the case of a computer user who is blind, is that really true? With so many options on the market, do we know which one fits a user's needs, or do any of them? In this text, we examine the usability of a learning management system by a computer user who is blind using different access technologies. Due to the versatility of an individual's position within the academic setting, both the student's and the instructor's roles within this environment are examined. The current landscape is explored, along with literature from other sources. Results based implications for the classroom, and development of the software will also be addressed, in addition to suggestions for future research.
