The Information and Communication Support Information System (PYLES-ΠΥΛΕΣ) is an e-learning management system designed to provide accessible asynchronous distance learning. Its purpose is the integration and support of disabled students of the University of West Attica in the academic field, on the one hand utilizing modern software of assistive technology and on the other hand providing appropriate educational and supportive content that will enhance the education of students with limited sensory needs. The platform is the basis for an active repository of learning resources with advanced capabilities to adapt to the special needs and preferences of students, but also a collaborative environment to support teaching.
The Information System is based on the Open eClass platform which extends with tools and ergonomics to meet the additional requirements for enhanced accessibility of both the content and the environment itself. Thus, the Information System offers an environment particularly familiar to the Academic community, without the need for additional effort to familiarize educators and trainees.
