Abstract

In this paper, we presented an innovative way for a quick and comprehensive evaluation of different online educational websites by following and combining the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, the standard ISO/IEC 24751 and heuristic evaluation approach. Five presentative web pages of the Learning Management System eCampus were evaluated by 14 participants classified into two groups with one usability expert in each group. Questionnaires containing twenty-five accessibility questions (=success criteria) were distributed among participants. Each participant was asked to evaluate only up to four success criteria. When completed, usability experts reviewed results and transformed them into final recommendations for improvements. Results revealed that none of five reviewed web pages reached level A for accessibility by the standard Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. On average, all five web pages reached the score 14 out of 25 in “pass” success criteria. In “fail” success criteria the average score was 4.80. The way of evaluation used in this study suggests possible implications in practice due to its simplicity and quickness.
