The purpose of the study is to identify the accessibility of OpenCouresWare(OCW) from the perspective of college students with visual and hearing impairments. Six students with visual impairments(3 blind and 3 low vision) and four students with hearing impairments(2 deaf, 2 hard of hearing) implemented usability testing. Two modules in KOCW were selected for testing. Students implemented usability testing and then each individual case was analyzed through quantitative and qualitative methods. As results, the degree of usability and accessibility in two modules indicated low level. Implications and recommendations for designing OCW module based on the results were suggested.

In this paper, we implement modules of the MPEG-2 AAC decoder using VHDL. Tools of Huffman decoder, inverse quantizer and high-density filter bank which are necessary for the AAC decoder. We designed the high speed Huffman decoder using the method of octal tree search algorithm, and reduced computational time of filter bank using IFFT. Also, we use table of computation result for an exponential calculation of Inverse quantizer in fixed-point hardware, and reduced the size of table using linear interpolation. Modules implemented by hardware through optimization work in real time at low clock frequency are possible to reduce the system size.
