Accessibility for educational resources

This data aims to raise awareness of any professional who develops educational applications, that apply accessibility standards to generate inclusive and accessible applications. For within the group of possible users there may be participants with some type of visual disability, such as users with low vision and elderly people. On the other hand, we must emphasize that developing an accessible application does not have to go against an attractive graphical interface, that is, an accessible application does not necessarily have to be “unsightly.” It is convenient to remember that not all visual disabilities are the same, and computer management skills also depend on the age of the user, so in the article, these two variables will always be considered. Nowadays, it is necessary to consider the different levels of education, especially for elderly patients and those with disabilities. Therefore, the educational resources of the Tele-habilitation platform must provide instantaneous and ubiquitous access to all types of services and content, including documents and digital resources. The digital educational resources have become a valuable alternative to support the teaching and learning processes, taking advantage of the possibility of presenting the contents through different multimedia formats. Therefore, it is necessary that educational resources for learning apply accessibility features that allow the interaction of users regardless of their conditions and preferences. This document presents a proposal for the evaluation of the accessibility of multimedia educational resources, where it is suggested to apply the WCAG 2.1 in addition to a series of phases to automatically and manually assess the level of accessibility of the educational resources used in the platform of telerehabilitation.
