BeLearning: Designing accessible web applications

Flexibility and adaptivity are two of the outstanding characteristics of new media and new technologies. These properties allow new methods to provide physically challenged people with appropriate information. To build accessible Web applications, one has to respect the needs from the beginning of the design process. However, it is difficult to integrate the requirements of accessibility guidelines into modern web design. Based on recent proposals for model-based Web application development, we discuss the essential modeling requirements to ensure enhanced accessibility in Web applications.
