Prototipo de Servicio de Perfilado de Usuarios con Discapacidades Visuales para Preferencias de Accesibilidad en Plataformas MOOC

Abstract

This project has the main objective of developing a prototype service for profiling users with visual disabilities for accessibility preferences on MOOC platforms. The profiling is based on the WCAG guidelines, IMS PNP proposal and accessibility requirements for users with blindness, low vision and color blindness. The study case was conducted in the Association of the Blind “Luis Braille", located in Quito-Ecuador. This project involves the design of a generic profiling service for MOOC platforms where users with visual disabilities can indicate their accessibility preferences for future reference when using MOOC platforms. The information managed by the service will serve as an input for the platforms so interfaces and contents can be configured and adapted to these preferences. This profiling service will help the MOOC platforms that will consume it to improve the level of accessibility.
