Since the middle of the 1990s, the number of colleges and universities which provide courses and degree
programs via distance education has been growing dramatically. The advantages of the online learning
have been widely described in the literature. However, the prospective promised with the digital era often
has not become the reality for most people with disabilities, especially in educational context. Some studies
of the statistical accesses of distance education web pages of the major organizations for distance
learning have revealed a high percentage of inaccessible pages. In this scenario where almost all universities
which offer traditional programs have started to, or plan to offer distance education programs using
the Internet, it is very important to redesign traditional pedagogical approaches by integrating information
and communication technologies into courses. The aim of this paper is to introduce some studies about the
accessibility of the e-learning and to introduce an online learning environment designed for blind students.
