description The article addresses the navigation difficulties encountered on the web pages of Ecuadorian universities about accessibility. The aim is to determine the extent to which the WCAG 2.1 guidelines applied in these universities. Of the 61 web pages analyzed, only 11 featured a button for visual adjustments. Utilizing TAW (Web Accessibility Test) and  dispersion analysis, it was found that most universities exhibit up to 26.8 errors in the 'Perceivable' principle, 46.8 errors in the 'Operable' principle, 9.4 errors in the 'Understandable' principle, and 9.4 errors in the 'Robust' principle. When using the Markup Validation Service, as many as 80 markup errors were discovered. Similarly, with the CSS Validation Service, up to 143 errors were identified on the web pages. These findings enable web developers to better target their improvements, considering accessibility guidelines.

El objetivo de este artículo es determinar el grado de aplicación de las pautas WCAG 2.1, en las universidades ecuatorianas. Para ello se aplicaron varias herramientas de validación. Del total de 61 páginas web analizadas, solo 11 presentaban un botón para ajustes visuales. Utilizando TAW (Test de Accesibilidad Web) y un análisis de dispersión, se determinó que la mayoría de las universidades tienen hasta 26.8 errores en el principio “Perceptible”; 46.8 errores en el principio “Operable”; 9,4 errores en el principio “Comprensible” y 9.4 errores en el principio “Robusto”. Utilizando Markup Validation Service se encontraron hasta 80 errores de marcado. La aplicación del CSS Validation Service evidenció hasta 143 errores en las páginas web. Con estos resultados, los desarrolladores web podrán enfocar sus mejoras, considerando las pautas de accesibilidad.Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo2024-07-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/82710.18779/ingenio.v7i2.827InGenio Journal; Vol. 7 No. 2 (2024); 137-157Revista InGenio; Vol. 7 Núm. 2 (2024); 137-1572697-364210.18779/ingenio.v7i2reponame:Revista InGenioinstname:Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedoinstacron:UTEQspahttps://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/827/900https://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/827/901https://revistas.uteq.edu.ec/index.php/ingenio/article/view/827/902Copyright (c) 2024 Washington Chiriboga Casanova, Nuria Medina Medina, Patricia Paderewski Rodriguezhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-07-09T20:08:52Zoai:revistas.uteq.edu.ec:article/827Portal de revistasUniversidad públicahttp://www.uteq.edu.ec/2697-36422697-3642opendoar:02024-07-09T20:08:52falsePortal de revistasUniversidad públicahttp://www.uteq.edu.ec/2697-36422697-3642opendoar:02024-07-09T20:08:52Revista InGenio - Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedofalse
