CIDI 2025:

A tecnologia digital, como design das interações entre usuário e sistema, desempenha um papel fundamental na promoção da autonomia, ao mesmo tempo em que aprimora as capacidades funcionais das pessoas com deficiência visual. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a acessibilidade do site de uma Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde, aplicando os padrões da WCAG, com uma abordagem de design universal, para identificar questões-chave relacionadas à percepção de elementos, funcionalidade e eficiência da interface e navegação, compreensão da linguagem e estrutura e compatibilidade com vários sistemas operacionais e tecnologias. O método baseou-se em uma abordagem qualitativa, orientada por uma perspectiva crítica. Os resultados evidenciam uma lista de recomendações práticas, geralmente voltadas para o desenvolvimento de um ambiente digital mais inclusivo no setor educacional.

CIDI 2025:

Digital technology, as the design of user-system interactions, plays a fundamental role in promoting autonomy while improving the functional capabilities of individuals with visual impairments. In this context, this study aims to assess the accessibility of the website of a Federal University of Health Sciences, applying WCAG standards within a universal design framework, to identify key issues related to the perception of elements, functionality and efficiency of the interface and navigation, understanding of language and structure, and compatibility with various operating systems and technologies. The method was based on a qualitative research approach, guided by a critical perspective. The findings provide a list of practical recommendations that are generally geared towards developing a more inclusive digital environment in the educational sector.
