Several frameworks have been developed such as:
Universal Design for Learning (Rose & Meyer, 2002)
Differentiated Learning (Tomlinson & McTighe, 2006)
All recognize the broad diversity of learners with respect to
ability, language, culture, gender, age and other forms of human
difference and they provide specific learning design principles to
ensure accessibility of all learner types to the learning
environment or education delivery.

Learning, Education and Training” is intended to meet the needs of learners
with disabilities and anyone in a disabling context. ISO/IEC 24751-1:2008
provides a common framework to describe and specify learner needs and
preferences on the one hand and the corresponding description of the digital
learning resources on the other hand, so that individual learner preferences
and needs can be matched with the appropriate user interface tools and
digital learning resources.
ISO/IEC Standard has been influenced by IMS Access for ALL specifications:

Open Curriculum: learners can mix educational
resources for different disciplines to meet their
needs. This places learners in charge of their own
learning.
Open Learning: teachers, experts and/or peers can
share new ideas and new understanding during the
learning process.
Open Assessment: instead of formal evaluation of
learning results, previously led by accredited
education providers, assessment of what learners
have learned can be carried out by their teachers,
others and peers during the learning process via peer
to peer or crowd-sourced assessment with on-demand
accreditation for learners.
Open Platform: cloud–based provision and the use of
open standards make it easier for different platforms
and services to exchange information and data

User profiling: teachers should be able to create their profile and access a dashboard with

the activities that they have performed.
Uploading Accessible OERs: Teachers should be able to upload and store accessible OERs to
the portal by describing them with appropriate metadata.
Authoring Accessible OERs: Teachers should be able to use authoring tools for developing
accessible OERs in the form of accessible training courses.
Annotating Accessible OERs: Teachers should be able to rate, comment, tag and bookmark
accessible OERs. These annotations are expected to be used by other teachers for assessing
the quality of the accessible OERs during searching.
Searching Accessible OERs: Teachers should be able to search for accessible OERs across
existing repositories by either using formal metadata added by the authors of these OERs
e.g. grade level, subject domain, disability type etc., or by using social metadata added by
the users of the OERs (namely, the teachers) such as social tags and ratings.

Delivering Accessible OERs: Teachers should be able to organize and deliver

also to enroll to these courses.
Communicating with users: Proper tools should be made available to the
teachers for communicating and collaborating with other colleagues in order
to exchange ideas and best teaching practices.
Participating to training academies: teachers should have access to training
academies that offer them training opportunities towards enhancing their
competences about inclusive learning and accessibility.

Collects educational metadata from the external repositories. It includes four sub-components
Harvester: harvests metadata records from external repositories. Based on Open Archives
Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). All metadata is based on the IEEE
LOM standard and it has been tailored specifically to support the classification of OERs
based on their accessibility characteristics.
Validator: validates the metadata records that are harvested by the harvester, so as to
ensure that they conform to the Inclusive Learning AP.
Link checking: it is used in order to verify that the metadata record includes a valid URL to
the respective OER of the external repository. If the URL doesn’t work, then the metadata
record is excluded from the harvesting process.
Metadata Checking: it performs completeness check of the metadata records that are
harvested based on the Inclusive Learning AP. If incomplete metadata records exist, then
they are flagged, so as to be enriched in the future by appropriate Inclusive Learning Portal
users.

The issue of accessibility in Technology-enhanced Learning is too important
P. Zervas November 27, 2014

to be ignored.
Therefore, it is important to empower the teachers with appropriate tools
and services towards supporting accessible Technology-enhanced Learning
Inclusive Learning Portal aims to support this and provides tools and services
for facilitating the main stages of a typical e-Learning chain, namely, creation,
publication, discovery, acquisition, access, use, re-use and delivery of OERs. It
also provides teacher training opportunities regarding several aspects of
inclusive learning and accessibility.
Future work includes further development of the Inclusive Learning Portal in
order to support latest developments of accessibility metadata in
Schema.org.
