Abstract

The present work sought to bring an overview of the research on accessible learning objects for the visually impaired based on the systematic literature review methodology. The results showed that the research question and sub-question were answered, and it was possible to perceive the support that distance education tools can provide if they are accessible. Finally, the various ways in which the researchers approached the accessibility of each learning object were identified and the more specific models, techniques and computational tools that exist and are used in the context of education were detected in order to promote accessibility for people with visual impairments.
