People with different capacities, such as the deaf and blind, have problems accessing educational content due to lack of accessible technology. Accessibility usability are closely related concepts that share goals for a satisfactory user experience. Existing literature establishes direct relation between accessibility usability, reports there both in learning platforms, more generally most websites. The objective this paper is evaluate platform by interrogating its participants. Three groups...
This paper explores the relationship between accessible learning objects and Web content. On one hand it takes into consideration standard ISO/IEC 24751 to describe process of using an on-line educational system, which account needs preferences student contains accessibility metadata objects. other 40500 guidelines content underlying those concepts that can be applied Based on idea a object is also web content, study has been carried out discover mandatory must necessarily included meet...
Abstract This paper presents a technical solution to improve accessibility in e‐learning platforms. The guidelines for the were concluded from analysis of literature with goal achieving scalable, reusable, and easily manageable method has been tested through case study conducted on Moodle where sample target population experimented it several Engineering Education courses resulting high degree perceived usefulness. We also found out that deaf students encountered less problems accessing...
Students with disabilities can attend online education using virtual learning platforms and assistive technology adapted to their personal needs. However, access is not enough avoid difficulties as they tend require more time for interaction resources. Analysis of the literature suggests that there relevant interest among researchers in exploring required by students disabilities. The aim this paper explore average questionnaires, most typical e-learning resource, comparison without This...
This paper presents IMS Access for All v3.0 specification, which main objective is to simplify the definition of accessibility metadata learning objects and preferences needs users these objects, thereby achieving an inclusive process. The AfAPad tool has been created helping accessible content creators complete set specificationâs create XML files that represent them. also helps their with metadata. developed by authors at University Alcala (Spain) in field project ESVIAL. exposes...
