| Popis: | Successful inclusion of the visually impaired students is significantly influenced by digital barriers in their educational environment. For students with visual impairment, the occurrence of digital barriers reflects negatively in the quality of their university studies. Provision of sighted person assistance or other support measures may help to overcome the impacts of digital barriers, however it does not comply with the inclusive approach requirements. The aim of the paper is to examine the development of digital barriers in the university environment in 2007 - 2015. Selected conclusions of the research carried out have been subsequently compared while monitoring individual specifics and differences between the occurrence of digital barriers in the Czech and Slovak Republic. We have found out that the trend in development of digital barriers is gradually deteriorating. At the same time, we ascertained that there are no statistically significant differences in the e-Accessibility level in the countries monitored. |
