Project developed within the research fellowship "HiLives - Including and Connecting in Higher Education: Networking opportunities for independent lives".
This was an Erasmus+ project, which aimed to deepen knowledge and share practices in the inclusion of PWD in higher education and their transition to an active and independent life. To this end, the role of digital media was explored throughout this process, with a view to developing strategies and tools to support the personal, academic and socio-professional development of PWD in the context of Higher Education and the labour market.
Regarding O2, the main goal was the development of a prototype of a Digital Tool for the Recommendation of opportunities in Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and in the labour market for PWD. This tool aims to bridge gaps and mismatches between the expectations, skills and needs of these people in two different environments. In addition, this project enabled cooperation, innovation, sharing of experiences, knowledge and good practices among eight partners from four countries.
To implement and design the project I used PHP, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, SQL and phpMyAdmin, Figma, Adobe XD and Adobe Illustrator.
Within the scope of this project, my master's thesis entitled "Digital accessibility in recommendation platforms for the inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities: critical factors and best practices for the development of an accessible web platform" was also developed. This can be viewed and downloaded here.
The high fidelity prototype can be seen here. And the full figma file can be viewed on Figma
