Abstract

Accessibility, which includes usability evaluation, is an important equity step in assessing the effectiveness and usefulness of online learning for students with sensory disabilities. A model for accessibility evaluation has been developed on the basis of a multi-method approach as well as with reference to the characteristics of groups with disabilities and the features of university web-based systems.
