摘要

在线大学的目标是增加所有学生的学习机会。在线高等教育存在多年后，应根据其满足残疾人学习需求的准备情况进行分析。本文提出了一项研究，通过使用基于研究的问卷调查学生对一所知名在线大学的看法，揭示了在线高等教育机构的准备程度。这项研究涉及加泰罗尼亚开放大学（UOC）的所有残疾学生，421名学生有效参与。该论文的结论总体上对该大学在多大程度上克服了障碍并提供了令人满意的学术便利持高度肯定的态度。然而，研究结果确实表明，需要一个更全面、更具体的解决方案来满足未满足的需求，尤其是对那些有心理残疾的学生。

Online readiness in universities from disabled students’ perspective

The aim of online universities is to increase learning accessibility for all students. After some years of existence, online higher education should be analysed in terms of its preparedness to meet the learning needs of people with disabilities. This paper presents a study that sheds light on the level of readiness of online higher education institutions by examining students’ views of a well-established online university, using a research-based questionnaire. The research involves all students with disabilities studying at the Open University of Catalonia (UOC), with an effective participation of 421 students. The conclusion of the paper is generally highly positive concerning the extent to which the university has overcome barriers and provided satisfactory academic accommodations. However, the results do indicate a need for a more comprehensive and specific solutions for dealing with unmet needs, especially for those students with mental disabilities.
