Making text sizes larger or smaller as needed can benefit readers of different ages and those with visual impairments. Having the ability to change the text size easily means that readers can easily use larger print when needed.

The Center on Inclusive Software for Learning (CISL) at CAST conducted literature reviews and testing within Clusive, our adaptive and accessible web-based reader designed during the project, to develop Technology Feature Briefs. These briefs are designed for educators, developers, and researchers to find out more about particular features within technology tools, how they’re used, and whether they might be effective in addressing different barriers within a technology environment.
