The Accesibility Of Elearning Platforms For The Visually Impaired Students
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The accessibility of the interfaces, with which a student with visual impairments interacts, remains an unsolved issue. Even if, there have been elaborated and recommended various standards for web accessibility (e.g. W3C-WAI), and also for e-learning system (e.g. I.M.S.,E-Learn-ViP), these are present only at a primary level or not entirely acceptable. In our research we intended to evaluate two platforms e-learning throughout two methodological steps, with the help from students with visual imairments. The accessibility of an e-learning system is useful to all the users, not only to those with visual impairments.
