    abstract = {The existence of computers and the Internet were important 
  in human’s life as it offers an entrance into the World Wide Web. The web that 
  acts as a platform for e-Learning education is an essential technology development 
  thus humans’ accessibility issues in Web applications are crucial. This includes 
  the deaf learners. The objectives of this study were to investigate the levels 
  of knowledge, usage, satisfaction and interest of the secondary school teachers 
  (involved in the Hearing-Impaired Education Program), on computers, ICT and 
  e-Learning for deaf learners. This study used a mix method of both qualitative 
  and quantitative. The primary method of this research was interview whereby 
  two teachers were being interviewed from each school, to view their opinions. 
  All schools executing the Hearing-Impaired Education Program (total of 24) from 
  the whole of Malaysia were the research locations therefore bringing a total 
  of 48 teachers as the research sample which were also the research population. 
  The interview results revealed that teachers had shown positive results in having 
  ICT education (online) for the deaf learners, mainly for reasons like computers 
  being deaf-friendly. Moreover, computer enhances the students’ deaf-creativity 
  in graphical visual of Drawing images, Web-design, 3D-animation and Multimedia 
  purposes. Results also showed that the majority of respondents were not satisfied 
  that deaf learners were not included in the popular computer courses in schools. 
  The implication of the study was that ICT courses should be included in the 
  curriculum for deaf learners. Further research on the development of computer 
  courses which enhance deaf-creativity should be done.}
