Courseware Guidelines
This document realease constitutes a first result for the general adoption of accessible learning tools. It is conceived as "open document" as a first brick of a more complex design around access problems related to disability issues: the chance to a deeper approach to open issues reported and the possibility to extend the study to other kinds of impairments will be considered in next future. The printed booklet (A5 size) of the guideline document, suitable for re-distribution, is available requesting it by e-mail directly at tucep@tucep.it



By means of a commercial software a demonstration course has been developed: the aims is to demonstrate to implementation of multiple modality to grant access to the same contents. The course allow to change shape and dimensions of screen elements, type of acces and type of feedback produced by application. A number of individual profiles are stored in a user directory in order to recall the right adaptation to course application. A "tab" ordered access is granted, in order to let operate users by means of only two keys. All graphics and animations are customisable in size and displaying speed. Just to take a short look on the chances to modify the interface, visit the Madrid meeting page.

Anyway demo course can be requested sending a mail to mail@pragmaeng.it
