Abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop a Virtual Learning Environment to assist in the travel training of a group of people with learning disabilities to enable them to gain access to training and employment opportunities. To achieve this a realistic Virtual Travel in Sutton Package will be developed to assist people with special needs to learn independent travel skills, and to assess the effectiveness of the software in achieving this aim.
