Improved Web Accessibility Evaluation of Open Learning Contents for Individuals with Learning Disabilities

Web content should be accessible to normal and disabled communities on electronic devices. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) has created standard guidelines called Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Mobile Web Best Practice (MWBP) is also proposed by WAI for accessibility of websites on desktop computers and mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, iPads, iPhones, and iPods. Educational Resources that provide free licensed learning content are used to test the WCAG. The disabled community also has equal rights to gain access to these learning materials through electronic devices. The main purpose of this research is to evaluate these selected open educational learning materials for individuals with only learning disabilities. This research provides several recommendations to improve the accessibility level of the Learning Management Systems. Future research includes developing a more accessible learning management system with minimized or no accessibility errors. Disability includes physical impairments, mental disorders, lack of cognition, learning and emotional disability. Some individuals have multiple disorders. Learning disabilities are one of them. People have difficulty learning because of an unknown factor or low intelligence quotient (IQ).Comment: 15 page

Development of motivational strategies for face-to-face teaching of experimental physics in basic physics laboratories: a review

A documentary review was carried out on the production and publication of research papers related to the study of the variable Elaboration of motivational strategies for teaching physics. The purpose of the bibliometric analysis proposed in this document, is to know the main characteristics of the volume of publications registered in Scopus database during the period 2015-2020 in Latin American countries, achieving the identification of 80 publications. The information provided by said platform, was organized by means of graphs and figures categorizing the information by Year of Publication, Country of Origin, Area of Knowledge and Type of Publication. Once these characteristics were described, the position of different authors regarding the proposed topic was referenced by means of a qualitative analysis. Among the main findings of this research, it is found that Brazil, with 31 publications, is the Latin American country with the highest production. The area of knowledge that made the greatest contribution to the construction of bibliographic material referring to the study of the development of motivational strategies for the teaching of physics was social sciences with 47 published documents, and the type of publication that was most used during the periodmentioned above was the journal article, which represents 53% of the total scientific production.Campus Arequip

Accessibility evaluation of web content that support the mathematics, geometry and physics's teaching and learning

Ponencia de la conferencia "19th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, ICALT 2019; Maceio; Brazil; 15 July 2019 through 18 July 2019"The use of ICT in the classroom has allowed new teaching strategies, including the use of interactive software. However, during the design and implementation of this type of software, existing standards or recommendations for the creation of accessible Web content are not taken into account. This is why the accessibility in Web content, specifically in educational context, has been the subject of much discussion regarding the need to make Web educational content accessible to all students, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. The present study makes a literature review to identify those Authoring Tools that are being used by teachers in the areas of exact sciences, emphasizing mathematics, physics and geometry. Subsequently, the Web content generated by the identified Authoring Tools is evaluated in compliance with WCAG 2.1 recommendations, with the purpose of enunciating some conclusions and next issues to research
