Accessibility of Portuguese Public Universities' sites.

The aim of this study is to characterise the accessibility of all Public Portuguese Universities' homepages and the support services they offer to disabled students. We employed two different online automatic tools: using the 'eXaminator' to determine the conformance of websites to checkpoints; using 'HERA' to identify any automatically detectable errors or checkpoints. The choice of these tools was according to the Portuguese Government recommendation, to public in general, as the ones best suited to perform accessibility check-ups.
