With the recent announcement of the WCAG2.2 Work Draft of the W3C, revision of the WCAG2.2 guidelines will be made soon. Consequently, the revision of KWCAG2.1 in response to changes in the domestic and international environment of web accessibility is urgent. The revision primarily involves development and selection of web accessibility evaluation items. In this study, the efficient procedures and useful methodologies for developing and selecting the evaluation items are to be presented. FGI (Focus Group Interview) has been devised to reflect every stakeholders opinion fairly. GT (Group Technology) has been applied to expedite the revision processes particularly in the FGI. QFD (Quality Function Deployment) method plays an important role in investigating the relationship between evaluation items and its characteristics, and in analyzing the importance and priorities of each item. This study proposes 5 principles, 17 guidelines and 39 evaluation items which can be used for the revision of KWCAG 2.1. This study is expected to be of great help in establishing the KWCAG 2.2 in the near future.

In recent years, the efforts for standards of Web contents accessibility and improvements of Web accessibility are expanded in the government, public institutions, university, enterprises. Korean Web Accessibility Guidelines, KWCAG 2.0, by comparison with 1.0, was able to provide more define alternative text in terms of image content, enhance guidance for accessing and use of the keyboard and for a clear distinction of data tables. In this paper, we developed a CMS(Content Management System) for everyone to be able to access to information easily in the mobile/web environments that are changing rapidly. The CMS, which is developed in this paper, is designed and manufactured based on KWCAG, W3C XHTML-1.0-Strict DTD, W3C CSS2 web accessibility and web standards. CMS builder is a WYSIWYG manner making it easy to use and manage, as well as a variety of the web was to operate in a mobile environment.

웹 접근성(Web Accessibility) 평가를 위하여 웹 접근성 표준 가이드라인에 기반 한 120여개의 자동화 평가 도구들이 존재한다. 국외 평가도구는 WCAG 1.0과 미국 재활법 508조를 기준으로 만들어진 A-Prompt, Bobby 등이 있으며, 국내에는 KWCAG 1.0에 기반하여 한국정보문화진흥원에서 제작한 KADO-WAH가 유일한 자동화 웹접근성 평가도구이다. KADO-WAH는 국외 평가도구와 비교하여 상세한 검사를 진행하지 않으며 자동화 평가 범위가 한정되어 있어 상당부분 전문가 평가를 필요로 한다. 이를 보완하기 위하여 개선된 웹 접근성 평가도구의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 국내 자동화 평가도구인 KADO-WAH의 기능을 향상시키기 위하여 국외 자동화 평가도구와 비교 분석을 통해 KADO-WAH의 문제점을 제시하고, 이 문제점을 개선한 웹 접근성 평가도구를 구현한다.

This paper analyzes if the rapidly increasing cyber universities' remote education provides services based on web accessibility standard and suggest the direction to reduce information difference between people. It selected 10 cyber universities recognized by the government and analyzed the application situation of the web accessibility using' A-Prompt', an evaluation and analysis tool for web accessibility focusing on factors that can be evaluated technically. It also compared it with $\ulcorner$cyber universities remote education web accessibility result$\lrcorner$ performed in 2006 to confirm if the accessibility is improved according to 'web contents accessibility instruction (KWCAG) 1.0. The result shows that the items such as the use of text and the support of supplementary explanation tool have improved. But it was analyzed that it is difficult for people to use web contents provided by domestic cyber universities. So the educational contents' accessibility application must be considered to solve such problems and publicize the remote education.

Web accessibility refers to the practice of providing equal access to web sites to people without and with disability. This study aims to investigate the web content accessibility of 153 university libraries in Korea, and further suggest the approach to implement an effective university library web site to meet Korean Web Content Accessibility Guidelines(KWCAG). Survey was conducted with two steps. The first step was to find out the general level of web accessibility of all university library web sites using an automatic appraisal tool, KADO-WAH2.0, and the detailed examination of web accessibility check items was limited to 19 web sites which proved excellent in automatic appraisal. Regretfully, the result says that there is no perfect web site. Therefore every university library is advisable to make good use of the findings to meet all the requirements of KWCAG. In particular, the basic requirements, such as voice service, resizing and highlighting text, must be fulfilled by priority and to almost all contents.

Museums have recently been expanding their roles as education providers to use websites to provide a variety of information and services including educational programs. In order to better perform their roles as education providers, it is important for museums to commit themselves to making their websites accessible and easy for everyone to use, in compliance with web accessibility. 20 of museum websites were chosen to study the state of web accessibility of domestic museum websites, and were evaluated by using an automated web accessibility evaluation tool called the K-WAH 4.4. And then, we analyze the compliance rates of web accessibility based on 6 Requirements in the KWCAG 2.1. As a Result, only two museums satisfy the compliance rates on 6 Requirements and national & public museums are higher than private museums in compliance rates. So, to improve web accessibility, we comply with accessibility guidelines and design web contents. After witch we should improve web accessibility by modifying insufficient requirements immediately through periodical evaluations.

The purpose of this study is suggesting the direction for improving web accessibility by analyzing the state of abiding by the web accessibility by the centers for teaching and learning support at the education offices in cities and provinces which provide the learning and teaching materials to the K-12 members and the interested people. For this aim, nine centers for teaching and learning support were evaluated. The primary manual evaluation by two experts and the evaluation by 18 users were conducted. The users were comprised of hearing-impaired people, visually-impaired people, brain-disabled people, the elderly, various browser users, and a variety of operating system users. As a result of the analysis, not a single center for teaching and learning support had conformed to web accessibility in the expert evaluation and the user evaluation. As a result of the expert evaluation, the errors regarding web design improvement, HTML source error correction, and provision of alternative measures for the disabled were found. This study is meaningful in the sense that it provided various discussions with regard to the direction of the future web accessibility evaluation based on the improved web accessibility evaluation method.
