Abstract

This paper presents a study of the websites of the Spanish universities, and the design of a quantitative metric for measuring their level of accessibility, in order to establish a ranking that can be used for evaluate and compare them. This study considered the website of 79 Spanish universities; they have been analyzed by measuring some web accessibility-related indicators, such as accessibility and standards guidelines compliance, compatibility, usability errors, etc. With the obtained results and the proposed metric, we have developed a ranking of universities that measure their web accessibility quality. The main goal of this paper is presenting the results of this study.
