“…Sin embargo, utilizar el W3C Markup Validation Service y eliminar errores no forzados en el código fuente, lograría una mejor interacción con los productos de apoyo que utilizan las personas con discapacidad para navegar por Internet. El análisis realizado por la herramienta TAW muestra que la tipología de los errores detectados por las herramientas de evaluación resulta coincidente con investigaciones actuales de accesibilidad web universitaria (Ismail y Kuppusamy, 2018;Karaim y Inal, 2019;Roig-Vila et al, 2014).…”
