This can reveal itself in many different ways, with a variety of different challenges. Although, one of the most common is for students who are not native speakers of the language they are learning in. This means that context and information can easily be lost or misinterpreted by the student. Other situations could include the need for a student to be out of the country for a prolonged period of time, or unable to commute to the physical educational setting. This can be overcome with the use of remote learning, however, this would be almost entirely online learning, so strong website accessibility would be
