This document discusses migrating an information literacy tutorial called VIKO from a static HTML platform to a wiki platform to improve accessibility for students with disabilities. It outlines the principles of universal design and web accessibility, including guidelines from the Web Accessibility Initiative. It describes testing VIKO to identify accessibility barriers and choosing the DokuWiki platform, which generates standard HTML and is easier to update than the original platform. The goal is for the migrated WikiVIKO tutorial to meet accessibility standards and requirements so that it can be used by all students, including those who are blind, visually impaired, or have dyslexia.
