| Research Abstract |
We used multiple methods, combining interviews, questionnaires, and performance-related measurements of university students with disability and staffs. Document-based methods, automated evaluations and so on were also employed to investigate the present state, problems and the factors of e-learning accessibility and usability in Japanese institutions of higher education. The results indicated the following. First, learning support by the use of e-learning or blended learning was required. Second, e-learning accessibility for students with physical disabilities was not sufficient. Third, e-learning accessibility and usability for students with high-functioning pervasive developmental disorders were adequate in some institutions. Fourth, certain accessibility and usability problems were not solved in some institutions due to the lack of resources such as manpower, time and budget.
