Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has posed new challenges for both students and teachers, having to move from face-to-face to online teaching in a short time. The threats brought new opportunities, allowing students away from schools due to limitations, to use on-line classes for developing their careers and academic skills. Designing an inclusive course for students with disabilities is a great challenge. This article presents some effective practices and techniques to increase inclusion and avoid accessibility issues that can arise in an online course, such as a MOOC for IT e-learning having in mind the difficulties of students with special needs.
Keywords
