Assistive technologies in the virtual learning environments of the technical courses to distance of the CEFET-MG: what are the possibilities?

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to verify if the assistive technologies developed for the visually and / or hearing impaired are incorporated in the Virtual Learning Environments of the CEFET-MG distance technical courses and, how the professionals involved in these courses perceive the issue of accessibility in their academic routines. From the results found, it was possible to verify that the accessibility, with regard to the visually and / or hearing impaired, in the educational context of the analyzed courses is not yet a reality. However, it was interesting to note that this issue is a concern of the professionals who work in these courses and that its incorporation into Moodle is technically feasible.
