Course Terms
- Accessibility: Accessibility describes the degree to which an environment, service, or product allows access by as many people as possible, in particular people with disabilities.
- AT: Assistive Technology. In the context of ICT, AT provides access to and provides services beyond those offered by the ICT in use to meet the requirements of users with disabilities.
- Disability: Refers to impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions, denoting the negative aspects of the interaction between an individual (with a health condition) and that individual’s contextual factors (environ- mental and personal factors).
- ICF: International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health
- ICT: Information and Communication Technology
- Inclusive education: Education which is based on the right of all learners to a quality education that meets basic learning needs and enriches lives. Focusing particularly on vulnerable and marginalized groups, it seeks to develop the full potential of every individual. Inclusive Education ensures that “persons with disabilities are not excluded from the general education system on the basis of disability, and that children with disabilities are not excluded from free and compulsory primary education, or from secondary education, on the basis of disability” (Art. 24, CRPD)
- Inclusive society: One that freely accommodates any person with a disability without restrictions or limitations.
- INGO: International Non-Governmental Organization
- NGO: Non-Governmental Organization
- OS: Operating system (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Linux)
- PDF: Portable Document Format
- Screen-reader software: An assistive technology potentially useful to people who are blind, visually impaired, illiterate, or have specific learning difficulties. *Screen-readers attempt to identify and interpret what is being displayed on the screen and represent to the user with text-to-speech, sound icons, or a Braille output device.
- UD: Universal Design means the design of products, environments, programmes and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. “Universal design” shall not exclude assistive devices for particular groups of persons with disabilities where this is needed.
- UN: United Nations
- UN CRPD:United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
- UNESCO:United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
- VLE: Virtual Learning Environment
- WSIS: World Summit on the Information Society
