Abstract

The accessibility assessment requires the combination of different methods that allow a better identification of the barriers that can be presented to specific populations. In this paper, we present the process of evaluation of Web accessibility to a set of Digital Educational Resources, which involves automatic evaluation and manual evaluation. With the results of the evaluations we can conclude that some elements that support users with total visual impairment can become a barrier if they are not implemented correctly.
