The same way that physical environments in brick and mortar schools have to be accessible to students, employees and others with disabilities, accessible virtual learning environments have to be constructed in an accessible way. The most basic requirement is that the structure itself be accessible to all. In the physical world that means that, for instance ramps and elevators are provided for users of wheel chairs. In virtual environments it means that web sites have to be designed with accessibility in mind. However, accessibility does not end with accessible web design. Any tool students are required to use in their online learning has to accessible as well.
