“…Only 20,76% of these LMS complied with the minimum accessibility requirements to guarantee universal access. These results rank e-Iearning tools at the lowest among all applications analysed by Discapnet, and collide with the interest demonstrated by disabled people to access to online education [2].…”

We introduce an e-Iearning system specifically designed for disabled people. This system is implemented on top of a home theatre personal computer (HTPC), a small computer connected to a TV set to offer interactive services. This hardware platform also facilitated the integration of control devices designed for disabled people. An adapted version of Moodie, one of the most popular e-Iearning management solutions, provides the required e-Iearning functionalities and access to educational content.

“…Other works, such as those by [35] and [36], advocate for the inclusion of accessibility considerations from the software design stage, leveraging abstraction models inspired by IMS Access for All specifications. In the field of e-learning, [37] suggests creating models considering accessibility standards using an MDD approach to adapt user interfaces based on device characteristics and user preferences or needs.…”

UML Profile to Model Accessible Web Pages

Creating accessible websites is essential to ensure the inclusion of users with disabilities, as defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). In many countries, compliance with these guidelines is often legally mandated. Consequently, it is crucial to integrate accessibility considerations into Web development projects from the beginning. Unfortunately, accessibility requirements are often addressed only after the website is completed. To ensure compliance, it is proposed to incorporate accessibility requirements into system specifications and models. A Unified Modeling Language (UML) profile, called WebPageAcc, is introduced to streamline this process, allowing developers to incorporate accessibility requirements without extensive knowledge of accessibility standards. This profile provides stereotypes, data types, tagged values, and restrictions necessary to meet accessibility requirements. This study uses a four-stage method to create, apply, and validate the profile. Initially, an analysis of the WCAG 2.2 criteria is performed to define stereotypes, attributes and limitations aligned with the success criteria. Subsequently, the WebPageAcc profile is developed in Eclipse Papyrus, considering the identified elements. The third stage is to apply the profile to create a UML class diagram model of a real web page. Validation occurs in the final stage by executing Object Constraint Language (OCL) rules associated with attributes defined by the profile. Furthermore, an experiment is carried out to evaluate the usability difficulty of the profile among software developers. This multifaceted approach aims to improve the integration of accessibility into website development, ensuring inclusivity for a diverse user base while simplifying the implementation process for developers.

This paper presents a technical solution to improve accessibility in e‐learning platforms. The guidelines for the solution were concluded from the analysis of literature with the goal of achieving scalable, reusable, and easily manageable platforms. The method has been tested through a case study conducted on Moodle where a sample of the target population experimented it through several Engineering Education courses resulting in a high degree of perceived usefulness. We also found out that deaf students encountered less problems accessing the information than blind students due to different reasons.
