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.[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″]Keywords[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_size=”h5″]Inclusive Design, MOOC, Accessibility Guidelines, E-learning, students with disabilities.[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_size=”h3″]References[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”p” text_font=”font-213936″ text_size=”h5″ text_height=”fontheight-843833″][1]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 World Heath Organization, \u201cNaming the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the virus that causes it\u201d 2017. https:\/\/www.who.int\/emergencies\/diseases\/novel-coronavirus-2019\/technical-guidance\/naming-the-coronavirus-disease-(covid-2019)-and-the-virus-that-causes-it (accessed Aug. 14, 2020).<\/p>\n
