Análisis comparativo del cumplimiento de accesibilidad web de plataformas MOOCs locales e internacionales respecto a las pautas WCAG 3.0.

Abstract

This master’s thesis sets out to evaluate the accessibility of a few MOOC provider platforms in the national and international context and to compare their compliance with the WCAG 3.0 in their draft version of the 8 June 2021. The result of this work is a summary of said evaluation and analysis carried out in the most objective way possible, leaving aside those guidelines that could introduce a bias on the part of the author, with the help of four automatic tools for data collection and contrast between the data, WAVE, LERA, ARC Toolkit, and A11Y, being complemented with manual validation and filtering of repeated results, in addition to the manual collection of other data in processes which the tools cannot help us with, and then with these applying the new quantitative scoring system. This evaluation was carried out on four activities considered fundamental: searching for a course, creating an account, enrolling on a course and reviewing a page of the content taught in the courses, without which it would be impossible to access the knowledge offered on four platforms, two of the international context, Coursera and edX, and likewise two of the national context, CEC-EPN and MOOC UTPL.
