Deafness is a "hidden" problem, which is only partially considered in the design of interactive tools. The E-Learning Environment DELE proposes an answer by exploiting the mechanism of conceptual metaphor, in particular the "learning story". In this way DELE creates an environment for a "friendly" learning, which is strongly based on the visual channel, through the use of a structural iconicity of navigation.
