Overall Use of Assistive Technology in ODL
The study shows that the overall utilisation of
assistive technology for people living with visual
impairments was inadequate. This could be due to the
absence of the technology or lack of commitment and
or funding on the part of ODL institutions. Lack of
legislation and policy that compels ODL institutions
to make use of assistive technology could also be a
very strong factor. Lack of qualified personnel could
also account for this position.
