WAESM: Web Accessibility Educational Specific Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Web accessibility is an important topic that web designers and managers take into consideration when developing websites. Originally “web accessibility” referred to helping people with special needs have access to websites; however, now there are sets of guidelines to help make websites more accessible to different kinds of users. Guidelines like the WCAG 2.0 exist to help make the website accessible in a general manner. Having educational websites raises the issue of having these websites accessible by students at different educational levels. Since no educational specific model has existed to evaluate the accessibility of educational websites, we present an educational specific model which we call WAESM. We propose an initial set of guidelines that comprise our model. These guidelines, we believe, should be followed when designing educational websites.
