Abstract

The aim of the project InSIDE is to develop accessible distance education (DE) programmes for individuals with disabilities (visual, hearing, or mobility / physical impairments). The overall objectives of the project are to: a) develop new and innovative, accessible and inclusive DE programmes improving the quality of Higher Education (HE) for individuals with disabilities and offering flexible learning and virtual mobility, b) build capacity and professional development in administrative and teaching staff in developing and carrying out accessible and inclusive DE programmes, and operating the accessibility offices, and c) involve individuals with disabilities in a user-center design so that accessibility and usability are achieved in conjunction, and the links between education and society are strengthened.
