Avaliação de acessibilidade visual de curso na plataforma mooc com base no emag

Abstract

The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) is considered a massive course system that can be accessed by thousands of people, including people with visual impairments. In this regard, MOOC should be able to meet all criteria established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), as these criteria aim to make the web accessible to a growing number of people. In this way, this work aims to show the importance of accessibility through the evaluation of a course in a MOOC platform, using eMAG as the main guideline of the analysis in order to identify problems that may harm visually impaired users. In order to achieve the proposed goal, it was necessary to select a platform of MOOC courses and to evaluate, through automatic and manual validators, the level of accessibility of this platform for a visually impaired person. Finally, analyzing the validators and the reports generated by them, it is concluded that the platform chosen for the study in question needs to make improvements so that it can fully meet the concepts of accessibility. Considering that the studies and developments of MOOC are recent, this work will contribute to a course in this modality having a high level of accessibility, thus allowing the access of a greater number of people, whether or not they are seers.
