Abstract

The purpose of this article is to conduct a brief analysis of Digital Educational Objects (OED) available in Physics textbooks selected for the National Textbook Program (PNLD/2015) in order to verify whether they have accessibility features for visually impaired students at basic education. Four collections that provide digital resource as part of the work, according to the Guide Textbook, were analyzed. Discuss the accessibility available in digital resources is necessary because of the increasing number of students with visual impairments registered in regular schools. After the analysis, we can conclude, preliminarily, that none of the four collections has accessibility to the media resources that can help eliminate possible methodological barriers, a fact that can be negative to the education of blind students and low vision that will make use of OED.
