How to Select an Accessible Learning Management System for Distance Education

Description

The fast development of Distance Education (DE) and Blended Learning generates a wide, diverse, and fast-changing offer of Learning Management Systems (LMS). Selecting the right LMS for setting up distance education programs gets more challenging, in particular when specific requirements of teachers and learners with disabilities have to be taken into account. This was the challenge that the InSIDE project faced at the beginning of its execution. This project aims to implement DE programs accessible for visual, hearing, and motion disabled people in 11 universities of the Maghreb region. This paper presents the methodology, results, and lessons learned from the selection of the LMS to base the delivery of the DE on.
