E-Learning Strategies Implemented by Instructors for Individuals with Hearing Impairment

The current study aims at exploring the strategies used by instructors to deal with e-learning of individuals with hearing impairment and identifying barriers encountered by instructors of individuals with hearing impairment through a telephonic interview. A set of validated probes was created, and a semi structured interview was conducted with 12 instructors who teach individuals with hearing impairment. The obtained data was subjected to inductive content analysis. Two major themes emerged from the data; challenges encountered by instructors and strategies adopted by instructors. Several subthemes and codes were grouped under each theme. Overall, the study indicated the need for extensive research concerning e-learning for individuals with hearing impairment.
