OLAT 6.0 - Bringing together Web 2.0 technologies and accessibility
University of Zurich | Online Educa Berlin 28-30 Nov 2007 - Exhibitor

20-Nov-2007 » Training Press Releases » In early 2008 the learning management system OLAT will come with the major release 6.0.

A new design and improved workflows will be available as an outcome of a comprehensive usability study1. Furthermore OLAT presents its answer to the challenging question, how to ensure accessibility for visually impaired users in a fully "ajaxified" web application: Brasato2, the underlying java development framework of OLAT allows visually impaired users to choose the so called Web 2.a mode, which delivers plain HTML and is therefore fully supported by screen-reader software.

OLAT is the acronym for Online Learning And Training. It is a web application that supports any kind of online learning, teaching, and tutoring with little didactical restrictions. OLAT is open source, and has been developed since 1999 at the University of Zurich and won the MeDiDa-Prix3 in the year 2000. For more information please refer to the OLAT website4 or visit our booth A25 at Online Educa Berlin.
