User Centered Model to Provide Accessible e-Learning Systems

In recent years, two major developments have been made. In one hand, E-learning has advanced in a remarkable manner, empowering education and creating very sophisticated environments. In the other hand, more importance has been attached to accessibility as it allows people with special needs to access to the Internet and to navigate and take advantage of web pages and services more efficiently. However, little attention has been devoted to make people with various disabilities benefit from the e-learning platforms. In this context, we are working on modeling the various types of learners with disabilities according to their preferences and their needs so as to insure their access to the various learning platforms. Our project consists on studying the field of accessible e-learning in order to give disabled learners the opportunity to access to the e-learning platforms just like any other students. This work is based on the OMG´s Model Driven Architecture.
