Stepwise Approach to Accessible MOOC Development.

Studies in health technology and informatics·2015

Developers can now create more accessible smartphone apps using the Accapto toolkit. This system aids in designing and prototyping, integrating features to support people with disabilities.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Software Engineering
  • Assistive Technology

Background:

  • Mobile applications offer benefits for users with disabilities, but current user experiences are often inadequate.
  • Developers frequently lack awareness of or fail to address the needs of users with disabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel system, the Accapto toolkit, designed to assist developers in the early stages of smartphone application development.
  • To enhance the user experience for people with disabilities by improving mobile app accessibility.

Main Methods:

  • The Accapto toolkit enables the modeling of accessible smartphone interactions during the design phase.
  • It automatically generates a prototype application based on the created interaction model.
  • Predefined accessibility features, informed by standards and expert knowledge, are integrated automatically.

Main Results:

  • The Accapto toolkit facilitates the integration of accessibility considerations from the outset of app development.
  • It supports developers in creating applications that are more usable by people with disabilities.
  • The system promotes the automatic incorporation of essential accessibility features.

Conclusions:

  • The Accapto toolkit offers a viable solution for improving mobile app accessibility during the design and prototyping stages.
  • By supporting developers, the system aims to bridge the gap in user experience for individuals with disabilities.
  • This approach promotes the creation of more inclusive and accessible smartphone applications.
