Information technology can be an important facilitator of social inclusion for people with disabilities into society. However, the goals specified in this area by organizations such as the European Commission have not yet been achieved in their totality. The aim of this paper is to explore which types of information communication technology-based applications and/or digital services have been suggested to facilitate the social integration of people who suffer from different types of disabilities. We performed a literature review that included studies published during a period of 6 years (2010–2016). The results show that, in the data we have had access to, no concrete patterns can be identified regarding the type of technology or technological trends that can be used to support the social integration of individuals with disabilities. This literature review is of relevance to the identification of further research areas and to the identification of issues which have to be considered in the context of the development and implementation of technological innovations that are aimed at promoting or facilitating social inclusion of individuals with disabilities.

Now a days the need for higher education institutions to a have a reliable, effective and attractive web presence is increasing as online technology is becoming an important part of the educational process. The higher education institutions play a vital role in the development of a society while higher education websites have many roles to fill. They need to provide information for prospective students, current students, Faculty and alumni. They often need to include reams of information in a way that makes everything easy to explore and it's a great challenge. The purpose of this research is to highlight some points, which will show the importance of higher education websites where we have studied lots of literature to be more focused on the topic and conducted a survey to evaluate the usability of two websites. The paper will be helpful for the higher authorities and the web developers to analyze the significance of the website of higher education institutes and its usability.

Background: The idea of product usability has been discussed in several research areas including product research and development. Usability, in telecare monitoring systems, determines how much the system is effective and efficient for the telecare users. Usability has been considered an important factor in the acceptance of telecare monitoring systems by individuals who encounter challenges in the use of such systems and who possess a limited knowledge of their use. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to explore the relevant usability issues and identify possible solutions to improve the usability of telecare monitoring systems. Method: The study is based on eight research questions and to find the answers to those research questions, a systematic literature is performed. Results: The research findings highlight various usability issues, including the complexity of the interface, difficulty in reading the text, and insufficient provision of instructions. These studies have also suggested solutions to enhance the usability of systems, including development of the technical skills of users, explanations of usability evaluation techniques for telecare monitoring systems, and engaging the appropriate users during the development of telecare monitoring systems. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Successful implementation of telecare monitoring systems can increase the chances of acceptance of telecare monitoring systems by the users. Implementing an efficient and effective system will make telecare users more independent at their homes. The development of usable telecare monitoring systems can significantly contribute to a basis for clinical and home-based implementation of the telehealth technology to promote remote monitoring for elderly and people with disabilities. Considering the usability issues and solutions identified in this study, it will go a long way towards aiding subsequent researchers and developers in the implementation of more usable and valid telecare monitoring systems.
