Abstract

In the age of the information society, it has become imperative to consider the importance of actions aimed at digital accessibility as a way of dealing with the barriers that impact on the digital inclusion of people with disabilities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate two Open Educational Repositories, namely “Portal Domínio Público” and “Portal do Professor”, to verify if they meet the recommendations of the eMAG - Accessibility Model in Electronic Government. In particular, only those recommendations concerning persons with motor disabilities are considered. In relation to the research method, an exploratory study was carried out, divided in three stages: study of the eMAG model, which is the basis of the assessment; selection of repositories, the objects of this study; and, finally, assessment of the repositories. It was verified that both repositories do not comply with all the recommendations of the Federal Government. A letter of suggestions and constructive criticism was sent to each of the repositories.
