A brief introduction to accessibility is given followed by a review of accessibility standards. Interface design versus systems design approaches to accessibility are compared and the benefits of a systems design approach are stated. This is illustrated with a presentation of the content personalization approach from the EU4ALL project. Emerging big data approaches to accessibility are described. A learning analytics approach to accessibility in an online learning context is presented in some detail.

Embedding accessibility and usability: considerations for e‐learning research and development projects

As such, accessibility and usability issues need to be made explicit in project documentation, along with allocation of appropriate resources and time. We argue that accessibility and usability are intrinsically inter-linked. An integrated accessibility and usability evaluation methodology that we have developed is presented and discussed. The paper draws on a series of mini-case studies from e-learning projects undertaken over the past 10 years at the Open University.
