Call For Papers - CFP

ICTA 09 will devote a particular attention to e-learning and e-accessibility. In fact, the main objective of e-learning is to provide instruction and education to all kind of learners independently of their different places, different cultures or of different abilities. With this vision, e-learning should be barrierless and accessible for all. Furthermore, W3C¡¯s Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) has developed a series of guidelines which help to ensure that Web resources can be accessed by people with disabilities. However, the accessibility of e-learning provides additional challenges that may not be faced when providing access to other Web resources.

ICTA 09 is expected to cover state-of-the-art technologies, theoretical concepts, standards, product implementations, ongoing research projects and innovative applications of e-learning and e-accessibility. The conference will primarily discuss how e-learning can deploy practical usability techniques in interface design, contents, tools and e-learning environments to make e-learning accessible for everyone, including people with visual, motor, cognitive or hearing impairments.

The conference will be cross-disciplinary and will provide an outstanding opportunity for users, accessibility experts, graphic designers, researchers and teachers to address new trends and challenges, and to discuss how e-learning and e-accessibility can be supported and improved.
