Research of NURE students to achieve SDGs

Among the master’s qualification works this year, the Examination Committee of the Department of Software Engineering considered the work of Kateryna Atakulova (IPZm-21-2 group) on the topic “Research of website interface design methods to ensure accessibility to users with disabilities.”

The practical orientation and relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that a large number of people with various health limitations actively use websites, a significant proportion of which need to improve the level of accessibility. And this, in turn, corresponds to goal 10 – Reducing inequality, reducing inequality within and between countries, which is indicated in the United Nations Program “Transforming our world: Agenda for sustainable development for the period up to 2030”.

In her research, the student relied on the accessibility criteria of web interfaces according to WCAG, created an experimental layout of the landing page of the website, which she conducted by surveying users, including those with special needs.

The obtained results form the basis of recommendations for practical improvement of the quality of web site interfaces for use by persons with disabilities.

This work is the contribution of the students of NURE to the fulfillment of the tasks of the list of goals of sustainable development of NURE.
