We use high contrast for important instructional information. The applications will scale to a larger size dependant on screen resolution. Text within the site can be increased in size if required. All images are high resolution and can be viewed with clarity on an interactive whiteboard.

Learning styles are met and high order thinking skills are developed through materials and activities on, or related to, the site. Differentiation is built in at text level and through activities and recipes which differ in difficulty. Content is free, making it accessible to educational organizations and individuals.
