Abstract	Life Online is an online program in Victoria, Australia designed for young adults with mild intellectual disabilities. The program appeals to both teachers and students through content that is relevant to the everyday lives of this client group; real life characters to whom students can relate; activities that are achievable but need teaching and reinforcement in the classroom; easy navigation tools; and support through visual and auditory cues throughout the program. Topics included in the online programs include nutrition, budgeting, menu planning, shopping, money skills, electronic banking, independent travel, and community access. The program was a finalist for the Innovative Training Category of the 2001 Victorian Training Awards announced in September 2001. (KC)
