Abstract

SANTAROSA, Lucila Maria Costi; CONFORTO, Débora  and  BASSO, Lourenço de Oliveira. Eduquito: ferramentas de autoria e de colaboração acessíveis na perspectiva da web 2.0. Rev. bras. educ. espec. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.03, pp.449-468. ISSN 1413-6538.

The Eduquito, a digital/virtual learning environment developed by a NIEE / UFRGS team of researchers, seeks to support processes of socio-digital inclusion, and for that reason it was devised according to accessibility principles and universal design systematized by WAI/W3C. We discuss the development of a digital/virtual accessible platform and the results of its use by people with special needs, revealing an ongoing process of verification and validation of features and functionality of the Eduquito environment considering human diversity. We present and question two individual and collective authorship tools - the Multimedia Workshop and Bloguito, an accessible blog - new features of Eduquito Environment that emerge from the applicability of the concept of pervasiveness, in order to  establish literacy spaces and boost technological mediation for socio-digital inclusion in the Web 2.0 context.
