Abstract

The usability and accessibility of web services and online applications benefits millions of internet users including persons with disability. Regarding the importance of higher education systems in equalization of opportunities for persons with disability, the research's intent is to evaluate web accessibility of the Finnish higher education system by examining accessibility of websites and online services of all universities in Finland according to recommendations of Finnish quality criteria for web services. Automatic evaluation method is used to analyze web accessibility based on WCAG 1.0. The result shows 30% of tested websites have full automatic accessibility in priority 1 level and none of tested website has 'AA' compliance. Most of the tested websites have low inaccessibility issues. Meaning most of the websites need some modifications to become full automatic accessible.
