hola soy sergio luján moral profesor de
informática de la universidad de
alicante y en este vídeo que forma parte
del curso introducción al desarrollo web
te voy a hablar de la importancia de la
accesibilidad web
sabías que existen diferentes tipos de
discapacidades y el porcentaje de
personas con algún tipo de discapacidad
es muy significativo según la encuesta
sobre discapacidades deficiencias y
minusvalías realizada en españa en el
año 1986 un 15% de la población
presentaba algún tipo de discapacidad
en aquella época más recientemente y si
nos fijamos sólo en la discapacidad
visual según el informe olivenza 2010
con datos recogidos durante los años
2008 y 2009 en españa hay casi un millón
de personas con problemas graves de
visión
a nivel internacional en el informe
mundial sobre la discapacidad de la
organización mundial de la salud se
indica que más de mil millones de
personas viven en todo el mundo con
alguna forma de discapacidad de ellas
casi 200 millones experimentan
dificultades considerables en su
funcionamiento y el informe continúa en
los años futuros la discapacidad será un
motivo de preocupación aún mayor pues su
prevalencia está aumentando ello se debe
a que la población está envejeciendo y
el riesgo de discapacidad es superior
entre los adultos mayores
sabías que ofrecer una versión solo
texto en un sitio web no es ofrecer
accesibilidad
sin embargo hay sitios web importantes
como la web de la universidad miguel
hernández en elche que ofrecen una
versión solo texto como si fuera una
versión accesible
sabías que un sitio web puede ser
accesible y no tiene por eso que ser feo
y aburrido este es un mito que mucha
gente tiene asumido y que es totalmente
falso en el sitio web access sites
doctor recopilan sitios web accesibles
con diseños de gran calidad por ejemplo
navegando por este sitio web podemos
encontrar el sitio web oficial del
gobierno de suecia que es accesible y
presenta un diseño limpio moderno y
agradable
sabías que en españa de acuerdo con la
legislación vigente todas las páginas
web de las administraciones y entidades
públicas deben ser accesibles para las
personas con discapacidad desde el 1 de
enero de 2009 por ello en abril de 2009
el cermi el comité de representación de
personas con discapacidad presentó una
denuncia por la falta de accesibilidad
de la página web de metro de madrid y en
mayo de 2009 el cermi también presentó
otra denuncia por la falta de
accesibilidad de la página web de la
universidad autónoma de madrid
sabías que de acuerdo con la legislación
vigente las infracciones en materia de
accesibilidad web pueden ser sancionadas
con multas de hasta un máximo de un
millón de euros desgraciadamente en
españa aún no se ha impuesto ninguna
sanción en cuanto a accesibilidad web
pero en el extranjero sí que hay varios
casos famosos por ejemplo en australia
en agosto de 2000 el comité organizador
de los juegos olímpicos de sydney fue
condenado porque su sitio web no era
accesible por cierto el sitio web fue
desarrollado por ibm
en agosto de 2008 en eeuu después de un
juicio de dos años la compañía target se
comprometió a pagar a la federación
nacional de ciegos 6 millones de dólares
por la falta de accesibilidad de su
sitio web
más recientemente también en eeuu en
febrero de 2011 se presentó una demanda
contra la compañía disney por la falta
de accesibilidad en su sitio web
sabías que la accesibilidad web busca
que una página web se visualice
correctamente en cualquier dispositivo
por ejemplo la antigua página web de la
universidad miguel hernández no era
accesible y tenía un mal diseño porque
empleaba lo que se llamaba un diseño
fijo para una pantalla de 800 píxeles de
ancho con una resolución de 1920 píxeles
de ancho la página estaba vacía y se
desaprovechaba mucho espacio cuando esta
página se visualizaba en un dispositivo
móvil como no estaba preparada para
distintas resoluciones la página no se
visualizaba todo lo bien que se podría
visualizar
sin embargo la página web del curso y
del web
se visualiza correctamente en
resoluciones grandes en resoluciones
normales y en dispositivos móviles
sabías que la accesibilidad web te puede
ayudar a mejorar el posicionamiento de
un sitio web hoy en día un buscador como
google o como bing se comportan como un
usuario ciego lo que sea bueno para la
accesibilidad web también será bueno
para el posicionamiento
si quieres saber más cosas sobre la
accesibilidad web te aconsejo que
consultes mi sitio web accesibilidad web
y mi blog accesibilidad en la web
ya para finalizar me gustaría recordarte
algunos de los sitios web en los que
puedes encontrar más información sobre
mí y sobre mi trabajo y dos formas de
contactar conmigo a través de mi correo
