The Royal National Institute of Blind People runs a resources program called Load2Learn which will be launched internationally this year. Media Access Australia CEO, Alex Varley, discusses the upcoming initiative and existing research and development from the field, alongside potential benefits and impacts of the Load2Learn program in Australia.
