Accessible M-Learning Platform
Distant learning is developing and attracting more
users due to the availability and popularity of
computers and mobile devices among young and old
learners alike. A lot of learning platforms provide
courses and training in different fields, but lack
accessibility for the visually disabled students, and
cannot be optimally accessed from a hand-held
device, whereas mobile devices are very popular.
Simplicity
The interface is not overloaded with extra information,
which makes it light and easily mastered by users with
different skills, and also easily accessible form a W/H
device. Indeed we have to consider the different
mobile limitations such as screen sizes, memory and
CPU capacities, connection limitations,...etc
Accessibility
the platform is designed with accessibility features; we
applied the W3C standards in order to make it
accessible to different categories of users using a
PC/Laptop/W/H device .

Plasticity
the platform is accessible via computers or W/H
mobile devices. Indeed when connecting using a
mobile device, the platform automatically adapts its
interface to fit the mobile characteristics, such as the
screen size

The Learning Platform
We have designed a learning platform that allows
teachers and students to access courses and quizzes
and share them with each other. The students can
access the platform via a PC or a mobile phone
connected to the Internet, they can choose courses,
answer quizzes regardless of where they are. The
students and teachers evolve inside a community of
friends who can be either teachers, tutors or students.
