Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a guide of recommendations to help future hypermedia projects directed to deaf children. The essence of this design guide was given through studies in the areas of Deafness, HCI, Accessibility and Hypermedia identifying elements of accessibility and usability for these users, but also through the application of research with the audience. In the methodology, data collection was accomplished with teachers and students from two institutions, one of inclusive education (school A), and other of special education (school B). For teacher it was administered questionnaires with open questions and for students we used the technique of participant observation. It was verified that is essential the use of LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language) in hypermedia aimed to deaf children, because only if your first language being respected and recognized that the child can learn all the initial concepts and use them as a mediator in the learning of written Portuguese. Furthermore, a resource in the written form of sign language was presented, the Signwriting, that although nowadays underutilized, it is really a effective resource that should not be discarded. Finally, it was noted that the recommendations presented include simple alternatives, easy to implement, but not least important or urgent, to issues that require extensive and detailed research in the area, as the work of multidisciplinary teams. |
