ABSTRACT

ATutor is an Open Source Web-based learning environment that has accessibility as a guiding development principle. From its beginning, ATutor was created to fill a need for an accessible network-based Learning Management System (LMS) [2] [3].

Continuing with its attention to accessibility, ATutor adds the first implementation of the ISO FDIS 24751 [4] accessibility standards.
