Paper Abstract:
|
In an effort to acknowledge the eminent role of a number of relevant women, pioneers in the field of Computer Science, an exposition was developed as part of a cultural project hosted by the University of Jaen (Spain). In order to establish a permanent, virtual, version of this exhibition, a website has been created, as a way to allow visitors to know more about these pioneers, about their life and history, and their many contributions to the field. In addition, the site serves as a record of all events related to the exhibition, as well as multimedia galleries in order to improve the experience. In this work, we provide an analysis about the development of this site, which features information architecture guidelines, as well as accessibility and usability issues. |
