Interface Elements of an Online Classroom Platform for Students with Visual Perceptual Disabilities
Zazaleena Zakariah1, Nawal Abdul Razak2, Khadijah Ahmad Tajuddin3.
For a significant amount of time, due to the pandemic of Covid-19,
most classes were conducted online through online classroom platforms
where students and teachers did not need to physically attend classes.
The wide use of online classroom platforms involved all levels of students
from preschool to higher education level. These included students with
disabilities as well. Most issues arise due to most online classroom platforms
not focusing on different types of students, especially students with special
needs. Preliminary findings show that most of the platforms designed do
not meet the needs of students with disabilities. For this study, the focus
is given to students with visual perceptual disabilities. Previous research
proved that students with visual perceptual disabilities mostly faced issues
that deal with interface elements that include the selection of color, font,
size, and design. These issues make their learning process challenging.
Hence this study has been carried out with two objectives which are to
identify the visibility issues for students with visual perceptual disabilities
with the current interface of online learning platforms and to identify the
interface elements that suit their needs. Findings from this study can be used
as a guideline in developing the interface of an online learning platform
for visual perceptual disabilities students. This study will bring a positive
change in the life of students with visual perceptual disabilities as they will
be able to use the online classroom with ease.
