Abstract: The pace of creation and dissemination of e-learning content gets ahead of development and
validation of quality criteria and standards in terms of web content, technology, education, psychology, social
and other aspects. Practitioners and researchers in the field of web technologies, united in several international
organizations (W3C, iMS and others), endeavour to develop global guidelines for accessibility of web content. This
report analyzes the applicability of guidelines concerning web content used for teaching in synchronous virtual
learning environment, while presenting and discussing the main results and conclusions of research conducted
with teachers from online academy „Proznanie“. Participants were trained to provide web content accessibility
and the web content used in their synchronous online sessions was assessed before and after this training according
to system of criteria for accessibility.
