Similar to the SEE-VIP project, the E-Learn-VIP project, which ended on 31th August 2005, aimed at improving the access visually impaired and blind people have to e-learning components and e-learning products such as learning-management systems (LMS), web-based and computer-based trainings (CBT/WBT) as well as virtual-conference systems (VCS). Finally, the following products have been developed:
- accessibility guidelines for e-learning system and content developers ;
- rating systems for evaluating the accessibility of LMS, CBT/WBT and VCS;
- development of the accessibility label C4EA (Consortium for E-Learning Accessibility);
- an on-line database with a survey of e-learning offers considered accessible;
- a multimedia CD as a documentation of the project results.
The project partners are going to continue developing the network founded within the framework of the Consortium for Accessibility in E-Learning (abbr. C4EA).
For the SEE-VIP project partner especially the C4EA labels have been a reference point of utmost importance, since the evaluation work on the accessibility of the learning environment and of the WBTs has been and is being done in accordance with the certification criteria developed by the E-Learn-VIP project.
