UFCG acessível: extensão para o Sistema Web do Controle Acadêmico da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande voltada a estudantes com deficiências visuais.

Abstract

The web system of academic control of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) is present in the daily lives of all students at the institution, as all the necessary information is centralized so that the student can follow their academic development in graduation. The flow of use of the “Online Academic Control” is normally adequate for most students. However, when it comes to students with visual impairments, this flow of use has flaws in its assistive interface. In order to minimize this problem, it is proposed the development of a browser extension that makes the academic control interface more accessible for blind or low vision students. This extension was designed to facilitate the daily use of the system, offering extra functionalities and adapting the interface to the needs of this public. At the end of the work, the extension was able to make the academic control of the UFCG simpler and more accessible to students with visual impairments.
