With the rapid development in technology and learning methods, delivery of content is becoming more computer-dependent. Learning has advanced to interactive learning, problem-based learning (PBL), self- and peer-teaching, and web-based learning among others. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University hosted its low vision rehabilitation course on its in-house website in collaboration with the University of Houston, College of Optometry. Web course tools (WebCT) was used to stimulate students and deliver content on the subject of low vision rehabilitation. The site acts as a reference sourse for course material and laboratory instruction. It includes self-tests, quizzes, diagrams, photos, and some animated simulations for students to better understand and assimilate low vision rehabilitation concepts and principles. With web-based learning, low vision concepts and become easier and more fun. Data gathering, grading, and analysis can be more efficiently performed with advance planning and programming. The use of WebCTt and similar platforms holds promise for greater accessibility to low vision rehabilitation content worldwide.
