Abstract
Desde la publicación en 2006 del Libro Blanco del Diseño para Todos en la Universidad, se ha avanzado para implantar la formación en Diseño para Todas las Personas en las universidades españolas, y fruto de diferentes proyectos llevados a cabo por CRUE Universidades Españolas, Fundación ONCE y Real Patronato sobre Discapacidad, existen ya publicaciones específicas que abordan la formación curricular en diseño para todas las personas en varios estudios universitarios: Arquitectura, Diseño, Informática y Telecomunicaciones, Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, Ingeniería Industrial, Administración y Dirección de Empresas, Derecho, Medicina, Pedagogía, Psicología, Trabajo Social, Ciencias Políticas, Enfermería, Farmacia, Periodismo, Sociología, Terapia Ocupacional, Turismo y Educación. Además, todas las universidades disponen ya de oficinas, unidades o secretariados específicamente dedicados a la integración y al reconocimiento de la diversidad que proporcionan orientación y recursos tanto al profesorado como al alumnado. Sin embargo, como bien se refleja en la mayoría de los documentos y recursos disponibles, se hace necesaria una mayor implicación del profesorado en calidad de conocedor directo de los contenidos curriculares teóricos y prácticos de las asignaturas que imparte y como interlocutor principal del alumnado en general y del alumnado en situación de discapacidad en particular.
Es en este contexto en el que surge el proyecto UNIVERGIS, que pretende recopilar y generar ideas para la mejora de la accesibilidad universal en la enseñanza y aprendizaje en asignaturas relacionadas con las TIG. En estas asignaturas hay una importante carga de cuestiones espaciales a veces abstractas y una componente de interacción persona-ordenador (IPO) que suponen un reto añadido a la hora de realizar adaptaciones y ajustes curriculares.
Since the publication in 2006 of the White Paper on Design for All at the University, progress has been made to implement training in Design for All in Spanish universities. As a result of different projects carried out by CRUE Universidades Españolas, Fundación ONCE and Royal Board on Disability, there are already specific publications that address curricular training in design for all people in various university studies: Architecture, Design, Computer Science and Telecommunications, Road Engineering, Canals and Ports, Industrial Engineering, Business Administration and Management, Law, Medicine, Pedagogy, Psychology, Social Work, Political Science, Nursing, Pharmacy, Journalism, Sociology, Occupational Therapy, Tourism and Education. In addition, all universities now have offices, units or secretariats specifically dedicated to integration and recognition of diversity that provide guidance and resources to both teachers and students. However, as is well reflected in most of the documents and resources available, a greater involvement of teachers is necessary as direct knowledge of the theoretical and practical curricular contents of the subjects they teach and as the main interlocutor of students in general and students with disabilities in particular. In this context the UNIVERGIS project aims at collecting and generating ideas for improving universal accessibility in teaching and learning in subjects related to Geographical Information Technologies. In these subjects there is a significant load of (sometimes) abstract spatial issues and a component of human-computer interaction that represent an added challenge when it comes to making curricular adaptations and adjustments.
