Barrier-free E-learning has been significantly updated and also enriched 
with new multimedia. The course now is based on the realization that 
course content authors, faculty and instructional designers, are placing 
that content inside a courseware or learning management system. Most of 
the Web accessibility issues relate to that interface, and only a few 
accessibility features are relevant to the actual course content. This 
makes creating accessible content much simpler. The revisions focus on a 
limited set of accessibility issues and also stresses how to achieve 
accessibility using familiar software that designers are already using.
