• Virtual learning environments (VLEs) are increasingly being used for several purposes and audiences worldwide. VLEs are often used for communication with peers and with teachers, for sharing and collaborating on assignments and for assessments. Although the ultimate goal of distance learning is to make education available to anyone anywhere and at anytime, this goal cannot be accomplished unless VLEs are designed to be accessible to all potential students, including those with disabilities. In this paper, we investigated the accessibility of some question types (e.g. multiple choice, essay) used in Computer-based Assessment (CBA) in the Moodle platform, focusing on deaf students. Evaluation results indicate problems related to the use of videos, images, texts and customization for users. We also propose some design solutions for those problems.
