Design and Development on an Accessible Community Website of Online Learning and Communication for the Disabled

Education for the disabled is a social issue that cannot be ignored. Nowadays, due to the impact of COVID-19 and the rapid development of information and communication technology, online learning has become the mainstream way for people to acquire knowledge. In China, the number and proportion of the disabled receiving higher education are low. To let the disabled receive better online higher education, we should build a perfect accessible online learning environment. In order to realize this idea, we mainly studied and analyzed the current situation, design principles, and development technology of accessible educational websites, and designed and developed "Zhihai", an accessible community website of online learning and communication for the disabled. "Zhihai" is committed to solving the difficulties of online learning for the disabled and making contributions to special education. It aims to meet the requirements of strong pertinence, complete functions, high quality accessibility, and a good user experience so as to truly make its contribution to the construction of special education and improve the online learning situation for the disabled.
