Virtual AC and Web Resources Library
Virtual Accessibility Centre and Resources Library
This page combines resources collected and curated as part of the Virtual Accessibility Centre and the Resources Web Library, which have been developed throughout the life of the PACES project.
The Virtual Accessibility Centre focuses on providing links to information about virtual computer tools for use by people with disabilities. These include videoconferencing systems adapted to the hearing and visually impaired, tools for creating accessible PDFs and e-learning materials, and information and guidance on creating accessible information and e-learning materials.
The Resources Web Library is designed to be developed throughout the project, and beyond. The aim of the library is to serve as a database for the target participants of this project, as well as the project working groups. This will result in maximum benefit to the stakeholders and will also contribute to the post-project exploitation and dissemination.
1- Virtual Accessibility Centre
This page of the website provides links to information about virtual computer tools of use for people with disabilities such as:
· Videoconferencing systems adapted to the hearing and visually impaired
· Websites and electronic materials for students
· Tools for creating accessible PDFs and e-learning materials
· Information and guidance on the installation of web servers, which will allow accessible information and e-learning materials
· Cooperative web-based video communication and access to social networks.

2- Resources web library
The resources web library will be designed extensively during the project period and verified by designated end users, thus ready for post project exploitation and dissemination.
The aim of the proposed resources web library is to build a database for the target participants of this project – students with disabilities – as well as the project working groups, to have maximum benefit from the project through comprehensive understanding of the statistical data and new solutions, so that in turn they will be able to disseminate/promote the results and act as multipliers.
