정보와 환경의 급속한 발전에도 불구하고 고령자, 장애인 등은 웹 서비스를 포함한 보편적 서비스를 받지 못하고 소외되고 있다. 본 연구는 최근 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 공공 및 사설 교육 사이트의 E-Learning이 웹 접근성 표준 평가 항목인 '한국형 웹 콘텐츠 접근성 지침'(Korea Web Contents Accessibility Guide 1.0)을 준수 여부를 웹 접근성 평가도구를 사용하여 측정 및 분석하고, 정보격차의 해소를 위한 방향을 제시하였다.

인터넷 발달로 인한 정보격차는 장애인들의 문화지체현상을 가속화 시키고 있다. 이에 웹사이트의 원스톱 서비스에 있어 경험에 기초한 디자인과 보편적 디자인을 기반으로 접근성을 확장해 나가야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 문헌을 통해 장애인을 위한 접근성 필수항목 7가지, 즉 콘텐츠구성, 키보드접근, 마우스접근, 이미지처리, 텍스트처리, 색, 코드를 선정하고 이를 근거로 장애인 자료실이 있는 공공도서관과 그렇지 못한 공공도서관, 해외 공공도서관의 웹사이트를 대상으로 평가하였다. 이를 토대로 접근성 확장을 위해 메인페이지 개선, 사용자 경험을 기초한 콘텐츠 구성, 콘텐츠의 접근성, 의미 있는 마크업, 이용자를 위한 맞춤형 콘텐츠, 제작 권장사항 등을 제안하였다. 앞으로 장애인을 포함한 모든 이용자를 위한 웹 접근성 지침은 경험적 데이터와 보편적 디자인에서 이루어져야 할 것이다.

웹표준 준수가 미비한 국내 모바일 인터넷 환경에서는 자유로운 인터넷 서핑이 어렵고, 국내 웹사이트의 대부분이 사용성이나 접근성 보다는 다양한 기능과 화려한 디자인에 주력하여 개발하고 있기 때문에 스마트폰이나 태블릿 PC에서 접속시 사용성 및 접근성을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 이에 본 연구는 모바일 환경에서 사용성과 접근성을 고려한 웹 인터페이스를 제안함으로써 기업과 사용자들에게 모바일 환경에서도 쉽게 웹사이트 접근할 수 있도록 개선 하고자 한다. 이를 통해 연구대상인 (주)링크소프트의 웹사이트에 적용하여 향후 기업 모바일 웹사이트를 개발하고자 하는 개발자들에게 유저 인터페이스(UI) 디자인 적용방향관한 지침을 제공한다.

In this study, IT education contents have been developed based on the u-Learning approach for people with hearing impairment, focusing on allowing the user to learn from anywhere and anytime. Specifically, this study applies HTML5 to implementing IT education contents(JSP, Oracle) for the deaf because HTML5 enables the learner to access the contents through both web and mobile device on various platforms including android, Mac OS, and PC etc. The results of this study are as follows: First, the online computer courses are mostly supposed to be compatible with diverse types of mobile devices. However, some of the contents could not be run on applications residing in web and mobile devices because the contents tend to be developed using FLASH. HTML5 is the effective way to overcome the compatibility problem. Second, FLASH and HTML5 contents authoring tools have been compared in terms of their strong and weak points by applying the developed contents to those tools. The study also suggests that the future work would be needed in order to implement wide variety of event functions with HTML5. Lastly, design strategies enabling access through web and mobile devices have been analyzed in accordance with u-Learning design guidelines for the deaf and mobile application accessibility guidelines. However, in the latter case, the future work regarding design guidelines needs to be conducted to improve the educational accessibility depending on the level of impairment.

The obligation of web accessibility in public center, education center, medical center and rehabilitation center started from 2009 has plan to adapt it to a corporation and culture and art until 2015 by stages. This study analysed in the aspect of statistics how well the domestic broadcasting system follows web accessibility which was evaluated by six automatic checking guidelines provided in KWA-H 4.3 automatic evaluation device. With Kruskal-Wallis' test result of nonparametric analysis, an item of basic language statement seemed to be highly followed(p=0.041) with broadcasting system> internet newspaper> the daily press> sports newspaper in order. An item of label offering was followed(p=0.015) with sports newspaper> broadcasting system> the daily press> internet newspaper in order.

This paper shows trends in domestic and foreign web accessibility. To disclose the web accessibility observance rate, seven central adminstration institutions and another seven north-eastern cities in Gyeong gi-Do and seven major IT companies were evaluated. KADO-WAH 2.0 was used for showing the observance rate. The evaluation criteria was that of Internet Web contents accessibility Guidelines 1.0. The evaluation was limited to Guideline 1 and Guideline 2 of non-text contents and the restricted frame usage and the keyboard-only operation. The average points for three items are as follows: 65.56% for North-Eastern cities in Gyeong gi-Do and 43.71% for Central adminstration institutions and the average 29.33% for major IT companies. The observance rate was highest by 99.3% in Human-rights committee among the central administration institutions. With the observance rate of 98%, Namyang-ju city came first in Gyeong gi-Do area. Samsung electronics was the highest with 63.66% in observance rate. The Central adminstration got lowered from the average 82.14% in 2006 to the average 54.28% in 2009, with the result of 27.86% down. Accordingly, the urgent improvement for Central adminstration and Local adminstration in web accessibility is asked for. The same is true with major IT companies in web accessibility.

정보통신기술(ICT)은 우리 일상생활에 너무나 깊숙이 스며들어 이제 정보통신기술 없이는 행정서비스, 경제활동, 사회참여, 문화활동 등을 향유하는데 많은 제약이 따르는 시대로 접어들었다. 정보통신기술에 접근하고 이용할 수 있는 사람과 그렇지 못한 사람들의 정보격차 (Digital Divide)가 경제격차와 사회문화적 격차를 유발하여 사회 불평등을 심화시키고 궁극적으로 사회통합을 저해할 가능성이 크다. 정보통신 접근성(ICT Accessibility)은 신체적, 인지적 제약으로 정보통신기기나 서비스에 접근하는데 어려움이 있는 장애인이나 고령자가 일반인과 차별 없이 정보통신의 유용성을 향유할 수 있도록 정보통신기기나 서비스에 대한 접근을 보장해 주는 것을 의미한다. 우리나라는 미국이나 유럽 등 선진국들에 비해 정보통신 접근성을 위한 법 제도적인 출발이 늦었지만, 최근 수년간 관련 법률의 제정, 정보통신 접근성 보장을 위한 지침 및 표준의 제정 등 다각적인 노력을 경주하여 빠른 속도로 선진국 수준을 향해 나아가고 있다. 지금까지 '한국형 웹 콘텐츠 접근성 지침 2.0', '금융자동화기기 접근성 지침' 등 12개에 이르는 표준을 제정한 바 있으며, 정보통신 보조기기의 개발 보급, 관련 전문인력 양성 및 교육 홍보 등을 통해 정보통신 접근성 수준 향상을 위한 노력을 지속해 왔다. 앞으로도 모바일 시대, 디지털 융합의 스마트 시대에 대응하여 다양한 정보통신기기 및 서비스에 대한 접근성 표준 제정, 관련 기술의 연구 등을 지속적으로 추진하여 모든 사람이 정보화의 혜택을 누리는 디지털 통합 (Digital Inclusion) 시대를 열어나가야 할 것이다.

The development of a web has made our life more convenient than ever before; however, the elderly and disabled people have not advantage on it. Due to "Anti-Discrimination against and Remedies for Persons with Disabilities Act" enacted in 2008, the importance of web accessibility education has been important, but education on the web accessibility has not been actively implemented yet. Thus, in this paper the trends of web accessibility education in both domestic government agencies and private organizations are reviewed. In addition, its trends on the foreign government agencies, private organizations, and institutions of universities are summarized. To achieve this research goal, literature review was carried out and data collected from the both domestic and foreign countries were compared. Based on the review, the way to vitalize web accessibility education in Korea is discussed. The contribution of this paper is that web accessibility education of domestic and foreign institutions are compared for the first time and thereby, the implications for activating web accessibility education are suggested.

Web accessibility refers to the practice of providing equal access to web sites to people without and with disability. This study aims to investigate the web content accessibility of 153 university libraries in Korea, and further suggest the approach to implement an effective university library web site to meet Korean Web Content Accessibility Guidelines(KWCAG). Survey was conducted with two steps. The first step was to find out the general level of web accessibility of all university library web sites using an automatic appraisal tool, KADO-WAH2.0, and the detailed examination of web accessibility check items was limited to 19 web sites which proved excellent in automatic appraisal. Regretfully, the result says that there is no perfect web site. Therefore every university library is advisable to make good use of the findings to meet all the requirements of KWCAG. In particular, the basic requirements, such as voice service, resizing and highlighting text, must be fulfilled by priority and to almost all contents.

In the knowledge and information society, there is an increasing importance of information, being unable to access this information becomes a huge disadvantage. Blind and visually impaired users who are using assistant equipment such as screen readers are the very class that is having trouble accessing the web content that public libraries provide. In this research 10% of each region's libraries were picked as a research sample. Most of the web content that the public libraries provided did not meet the Internet web content accessibility guidelines as a Korean standard. Also evaluation into web accessibility by the visually impaired was also low. This research suggests some solutions for libraries to reduce the disadvantages that are put upon visually impaired people from various views such as perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.
