Abstract

Currently, the creation of OERs (Open Educational Resources) is part of\nthe teachers' daily work, being a main issue the evaluation of the\nquality and web accessibility characteristics for guaranteeing the OER\nmeet the special needs and preferences of all learners, including those\nin the margin. According to ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development,\nImplementation and Evaluation) model, the creation process of an OER\nfollows five steps which finish with the evaluation step. Although,\nthere are different approaches based on the evaluation of OER, many of\nthem coincide with the idea that quality and web accessibility are\nimportant aspects to be considered with the purpose of guarantying that\nOERs meet the user requirements but also for eliminating at least\nsensorial barriers in the content for people with disabilities. In this\nstudy an evaluation strategy used to support teachers in the evaluation\nprocess of OER was tested. The evaluation strategy was supported in our\nQWAE (Quality and Web Accessibility Evaluation) tool. This tool consists\nof two evaluation instruments: a) The QI (Quality Instrument) based on\nthe LORI (Learning Object Review Instrument) and b) our own WAI (Web\nAccessibility Instrument). With this in mind, there are two primary aims\nof this study: the first one is to introduce a tool which has been\ndeveloped in order to allow teachers to evaluate quality and web\naccessibility of an OER in the ATutor LMS (Learning Management System).\nThe second one is to present the preliminary results obtained from a\nvalidation scenario in which teachers evaluated OERs by using this tool.
