Abstract

In the paper we present the first evaluation results obtained in the framework of ALPE (Accessible Learning Platform for Europe - EC-029328) a market validation project partially funded by the European Commission through the European Community Programme "eTEN". During the first three months of the project, ALPE service is being customised to the needs of end-users in Spain, the U.K. and Greece. In addition, a small scale test of the service has already been performed by a group of visually and hearing impaired and adult learners coordinated by SIDAR Foundation. In this paper we describe i) ALPE service, including the platform and the courses offered, ii) the validation process and iii) the results from the initial end-user evaluation.
