Accessibility issues
- Some aspects of the e-learning collaboration applications do not interact well with assistive technologies or allow for personalisation;
- Navigability and usability of virtual learning environments e.g. Blackboard - try In-Folio
- Forum threads have poor subject lines
- People do not follow the threads accurately
- Easier to use instant messaging, Skype and social network forums, blogs and wikis etc.
