摘要: Difficulty accessing digital educational material in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) hinders many students from receiving an education according to his/her preferences fully enjoying opportunities offered by our technology-enhanced society. Web resources enhance delivery STEM content offering interactive visual models, dynamic content, videos, quizzes, games more. can be delivered several ways including visually, vocally, or through a 3-D printed Braille bar other assistive technology. In this chapter, we focus on accessibility for with disabilities who are prevented resources, precluding inclusive education. This chapter offers overview state art Web, focusing especially experience blind students. Existing issues authors’ opinions field aimed at motivating future research development.
