ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate an e-learning program for college students with disabilities in the math area. An e-learning module of teaching calculus was developed according to design strategies for students with disabilities. Then, five college students with disabilities (vision, hearing, and mobility disability) evaluated the usability of the e- learning program. The e-learning contents were consisted of learning materials in a variety of formulation, graph, and media to support students with disabilities. The results of the study showed that the practical strategies of e-learning development are digitalizing formulas using MathML, providing alternative text, controling various functions, synchronized captions, and usable interfaces. Additionally, through the results of usability testing a number of solutions to improve the e-learning program were suggested as follows: concisely representing of formulation and graph, multiple controls of size and pace, smooth linkage between voice and captions, alt-text descriptions of most image files, and simple user interface design.
