Constructivist eLearning and the problems faced by dyslexic students

Came across an interesting article recently which looked at the difficulties faced by dyslexic students when using text-based synchronous communication mechanisms (e.g. chatrooms). As these environments are being increasingly used as part of Higher Ed courses, it is an important (but often neglected) issue, particularly considering the increasing number of dyslexic students in Higher Ed today.
