DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY IN BRAZILIAN PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE YEAR 2020

Abstract

Digital accessibility can be conceived as an opportunity for people with disabilities to have free access to virtual environments, such as websites, networks, social networks or any other online environment. In the educational context, digital accessibility enables students with disabilities to improve their knowledge, as well as simplifying interaction between student and teacher. Inclusion in the school and university environment also occurs through this accessibility. This article brings to light the availability of digital accessibility in the public university environment in Brazil during the year 2020 under the occurrence of the Covid-2019 pandemic, highlighting the challenges brought by the educational changes that occurred in this period.
