Abstract
Current technological advancements have introduced a new perspective in facilitating optimal learning for individuals. Audiobooks as a learning medium are anticipated to ease the process for blind students in accessing a greater volume of material and achieving enhanced accessibility. Previous studies have not extensively explored the role of audiobooks for blind students despite the potential of this medium as a driving factor for their success in learning. A descriptive phenomenological study was employed to investigate the experiences of blind students in using audiobooks as a supporting learning media. Two blind students, actively engaged in distance learning programs, participated in this research. Through thematic analysis, the findings revealed that audiobooks can serve as an effective tool for accessing diverse and directed learning resources. However, specific considerations, such as accessible features and the dynamic nature of audiobook narrations, which need to align with the content, must be taken into account during implementation.
