Accessibility and supporting technologies in m-learning standardization

Abstract

Accessibility in e-learning in general provides the needed adaptation mechanisms to personalize the delivery of contents and educational tools to the particular needs of each student. Mobile learning supported by ICTs offers an excellent experimentation scenario for accessibility and adaptability research as the environment itself depends on the learner in a high level. This paper presents the initial research works towards the tuning of a mature sets of specifications in the area of accessibility, as ACCLIP and ACCMD, developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium, to educational environments supported, at least in part, by mobile technologies. © 2008 IEEE.
