Analysis of massive open online courses on web accessibility
The article discusses the results of the analysis of massive open online courses (MOOCs) on web accessibility and web accessibility in e-learning. Using the search by keywords in four MOOC aggregators and total browsing of the four Russian-language online education platforms, 38 free and 28 paid courses on the research topic were allocated. The only one course in Russian — “Web accessibility in e-learning” (Stepik platform) was detected. The following positions presented on MOOCs’ promo pages were analyzed: platform, author, target audience, duration of training, access (open / closed), cost, student’s achievement document (certificate / badge / other); training mode (independently / with instructor / other); prerequisites (starting skills). An average MOOC “portrait” in the field of web accessibility has been formed: target audience — web developers/web designers (45 % of MOOCs) or developers/teachers of online courses (24 %); prerequisites — not required (76 %); achievement document — certificate for an additional fee (55 %); platform — Coursera (26 %), Canvas (24 %) and EdX (21 %). The content of the nine MOOCs available for study was analyzed in detail. It was shown, that the content of MOOCs on the web accessibility in e-learning can vary and have different depth depending on the target audience of students, but it must include: concepts of web accessibility and universal design in learning and related WCAG guidelines; web content accessibility assessment methods; methods for developing accessible online materials.
期刊介绍:
INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION publishes original articles about theoretical, experimental and methodological studies in the fields of informatics (computer science) education and educational applications of information technology, ranging from primary to tertiary education. Multidisciplinary research studies that enhance our understanding of how theoretical and technological innovations translate into educational practice are most welcome. We are particularly interested in work at boundaries, both the boundaries of informatics and of education. The topics covered by INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION will range across diverse aspects of informatics (computer science) education research including: empirical studies, including composing different approaches to teach various subjects, studying availability of various concepts at a given age, measuring knowledge transfer and skills developed, addressing gender issues, etc. statistical research on big data related to informatics (computer science) activities including e.g. research on assessment, online teaching, competitions, etc. educational engineering focusing mainly on developing high quality original teaching sequences of different informatics (computer science) topics that offer new, successful ways for knowledge transfer and development of computational thinking machine learning of student''s behavior including the use of information technology to observe students in the learning process and discovering clusters of their working design and evaluation of educational tools that apply information technology in novel ways.
