Abstract

In the present day, it is a challenge for web accessibility experts to test whether educational and informational resources are accessible. There are no adequate tools and methods to evaluate the accessibility of multimedia resources, which makes the type of video resource not accessible to all users, especially for users with disabilities. Currently, there are millions of multimedia, including video-type resources that we use as an educational input during teaching-learning processes. However, the designers of these resources have neglected in their development the parameter of accessibility to make them more accessible. This research suggests applying a combined method between the automatic tool for photosensitive epilepsy and manual evaluation with the Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology 1.0. We applied this method in 10 video resources of the Latin American universities located in the first places according to Webometrics. This research may contribute to future studies related to the accessibility of multimedia resources.

拉丁美洲大学多媒体资源可及性评价

在今天，对于网络无障碍专家来说，测试教育和信息资源是否可访问是一个挑战。目前还没有足够的工具和方法来评估多媒体资源的可访问性，这使得这类视频资源并不是所有用户都可以访问，尤其是残疾用户。目前，有数以百万计的多媒体，包括视频类型的资源，我们在教学过程中用作教育输入。然而，这些资源的设计者在开发过程中忽略了可访问性参数，以使其更易于访问。本研究建议将光敏性癫痫的自动诊断工具与人工评估方法(网站可访问性一致性评估方法1.0)相结合。根据Webometrics，我们将该方法应用于位于第一名的拉丁美洲大学的10个视频资源。本研究对未来多媒体资源可及性的相关研究有一定的参考价值。
