Title:
E-YES - Creation of an e-learning interface for the blind and the visually impaired
ProjectID:
I/06/B/F/PP-154229
Description:
The main purpose of this project is to narrow the ‘digital divide’ between Europeans who have the benefits of applied ITC in education and training and people with impaired vision, who are the primary target group for the project. The project aims at identifying training and accessibility needs of visually impaired people for whom 2 tools will be developed: a software system for administering and assigning on-line courses; and an authoring tool for multimedia courses easily accessible to people with a lack of visual aptitude and capable of being installed on the platform. The consortium intends to distribute the results of the project on a European level, thus raising the awareness about the needs of the target group and promoting e-learning within the group.

Description in original language:
L’obiettivo del progetto E-YES, finanziato dall’Unione Europea nell’ambito del programma Leonardo da Vinci, è quello di introdurre strumenti innovativi basati sull’ICT nell’ambito dei processi di formazione professionale destinati a utenti ipovedenti e non vedenti. Tali strumenti innovativi potranno essere utilizzati da centri di formazione professionale, enti pubblici e aziende per creare programmi formativi specifici per utenti con disabilità visive. Il progetto mira inoltre all’integrazione della formazione a distanza con nuovi strumenti di collaborazione in rete che consentano la creazione di vere e proprie community tra discenti e docenti, anche se situati in aree remote.
I principali risultati ottenuti dal progetto sono:
-una nuova piattaforma software per la formazione a distanza dotata di un’interfaccia ad-hoc per non vedenti e ipovedenti;
-un nuovo sistema autore in grado di creare contenuti multimediali accessibili a utenti non vedenti e ipovedenti;
-alcune unità didattiche di un corso-pilota dedicato alla sicurezza informatica, accessibile ad utenti non vedenti e ipo-vedenti.
I beneficiari del progetto sono soggetti non vedenti o ipovedenti, appartenenti alle seguenti categorie:
- lavoratori che desiderano seguire i corsi di formazione online offerti dai datori di lavoro, e che vengono generalmente esclusi da queste iniziative formative in quanto gli strumenti utilizzati sono raramente accessibili ai soggetti con disabilità visive;
-lavoratori che desiderano acquisire nuove competenze per cercare nuove opportunità di lavoro e migliorare così la propria posizione professionale;
- disoccupati (soprattutto giovani e donne) che desiderano acquisire nuove competenze per entrare (o ri-entrare) nel mondo del lavoro.
