What are some common barriers in Education-based information technology?
• Copiers with controls outside of the reach range of an individual who uses a wheelchair. • Computer labs on the second floor of a building that does not have an elevator. • Educational software that requires the use of a mouse and does not provide keyboard shortcuts, and therefore cannot be used by individuals who use only a keyboard or other alternative technology to access a computer. • Campus websites with unlabeled or improperly labeled graphics which cannot be used by individuals who are blind or have low vision. • Multimedia files without captioning which cannot be used by individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.
