NCAM is working with the MIT Center for Advanced Educational Services to create a model for accessible online learning using MIT's Web-based Physics Interactive Video Tutor Project. The project features Web-based digitized video clips of lectures by Walter Lewin, MIT's legendary physics professor, along with help sessions, demonstrations, animations, illustrations, and text to create a virtual tutor available around the clock.

With preliminary support from the Mitsubishi Electric America Foundation, NCAM is working with MIT to address the needs of deaf or blind students in the design of the user interface, the navigation systems, and the presentation of video, text, illustrations, graphs, tables, and equations.
