“…В работе [22] 2010 года есть указание на ограниченное использование плагинов доступности в версиях Moodle, развернутых на базе учебных заведений; однако в ходе текущего анализа платформы обнаружены опции расширения доступности для пользователей, включая систему принудительного добавления альтернативного текста к рисункам, инструменты проверки доступности контента в текстовых редакторах, визуальный редактор формул LaTeX, инструменты для взаимного преобразования форматов LaTeX и MathML. В работе [23] приведены данные, подтверждающие доступность редакторов LaTeX в интерфейсе Moodle для пользователей с глубокими нарушениями зрения.…”

The purpose of the article is to assess the accessibility of electronic educational resources (EER) published in the university Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). The analysis involved 22 EERs in mathematical and information technology disciplines, located in the Moodle LMS of the V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University. The examination algorithm included analysis using the Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (WAVE) and expert analysis of web accessibility using visual, auditory and manual methods based on 89 checklist attributes. In the result of the analysis, multiple accessibility errors of the Moodle platform and the EERs hosted on it were found. The most serious platform problems include: lack of compatibility with text browsers; errors of reproduction by screen readers; errors of content reproduction on mobile devices. The list of accessibility errors made by the authors of EERs includes: incorrect design of hyperlinks (22.7 % of the EERs); lack of subtitles (13.6 %), transcripts (22.7 %), synopses of video lectures (27.3 %); lack of alternative descriptions for figures (68.2 %); time limit for tests (9.1 %); lack of special markup for mathematical notation (36.4 %) and program code (13.6 %), etc. Results of the survey show need in training of EERs’ authors in technologies for developing accessible educational web content. It is advisable to familiarize web developers deploying an LMS at universities with the basics of web accessibility, LMS accessibility functions and modules in order to select the most suitable platform, determine and install the required set of accessibility tools. Before launching all EERs should be subject to mandatory examination for compliance with the web accessibility guidelines.

“…Med glavne lastnosti označevalnih jezikov lahko uvrščamo njihovo prilagodljivost, saj se vsebina lahko zelo hitro prilagodi za prikaz na zaslonu, za tisk ali za nadaljnjo obdelavo z morebitnimi transformacijami. Zaradi svojih prednosti se pogosto uporabljajo v akademskem in inženirskem okolju [24], v veliki meri pa lahko olajšajo delo slepim in slabovidnim uporabnikom [3].…”

Označevalni jeziki omogočajo strukturiranje in organiziranje vsebine na način, ki olajša njeno obdelavo in uporabo. Različni označevalni jeziki imajo različne namene in so primerni za različne vrste vsebine in namene uporabe. Jezika XML in HTML se pogosto uporabljata v spletnem okolju, saj omogočata strukturiranje in prikazovanje vsebine na spletnih straneh. Označevalni jezik Markdown je priljubljen med študenti in razvijalci ter se uporablja za pisanje zapiskov in dokumentacije programske opreme. Jezik LaTeX se pogosto uporablja v akademski skupnosti za pisanje strokovnih in znanstvenih prispevkov ter za pisanje zaključnih del na izobraževalnih ustanovah. Učenje uporabe označevalnih jezikov lahko pozitivno vpliva na raven digitalne pismenosti, hkrati pa prinaša več možnosti za lažje prilagoditve vsebin v bolj dostopne oblike za slepe in slabovidne uporabnike.

“…Narrated the importance of using mobile learning in Higher Learning Institutions in Tanzania when shifting to blended learning and allow learners to access learning resources anywhere [3]. Examined the accessibility by visually impaired people of the Learning Management System (LMS) Moodle available by evaluating all assistive technologies available in smart devices [7]. Examine the challenge facing visually impaired learners in accessing graphical contents in Australian HLI and found that teaching style and perceptions of teachers can hinder the accessibility [8].…”

Recently smart devices have emerged in platforms for designed an assistive technology software which is embedded in them. Users requirements and awareness of the visually impaired population have made devices manufacturers incorporate accessibility part in their devices. Also, there are third-party developers have been trying to develop assistive technologies to fit gaps for accessibility of other smart devices available [4]. Despite the above advances, assistive, or even accessible mobile phone software development is still an emerging market [5]. Consequently, most of the instructors assume learners have sight while preparing learning material and upload them in m-learning; hence it is difficult for VIL to engage themselves in self-learning using smart devices visually impaired users face some challenges when operating their mobile phones. Partially sighted users, for example, may complain about the size of the letters on the relatively small phone screens, while blind users have difficulties finding items quickly on a touch screen smart device. These encounters, though, do not seem to be an
