A proposed method to design specialized web pages for visually impaired and blind students

Abstract

Currently, we study, work and build social relationships and economies by employing information technology. However there is a question for people who are interested in supporting and developing education for people with disabilities: What is the impact of information technology on the lives of visually impaired people? The answer to this question has been raised to varying degrees by countries and communities that pay close attention to disability issues and give them considerable attention. Interest from societies and countries is, of course, conditioned by political, economic, and social factors that can make the needs of people with a type of welfare for some governments and communities. In this paper, a new method is introduced for developing websites for visually impaired people by employing Braille codes and the HTML language to provide audio material via the Internet following the use of specialized web pages with pre-selected curricula to support the training of visually impaired people.
