description During the past years the design and development of web-based educational systems for special groups of learner has attracted the attention of technologyenhanced learning community. However, although a number of e-training systems are designed to meet accessibility needs and preferences for those groups, most of them anticipate special-purpose training material and keep their training activities local to the system. Such approaches do not facilitate their users (both learners and their tutors) in accessing other digital educational resources widely available in web repositories, and they do not support the sharing of best training practices among the communities of practitioners and organizations. Within this context, in this paper we present the e-Access II Project which targets in providing tools and services that facilitate the design and production of appropriately designed accessible eTraining Resources, Activities and Courses that bare the potential to be inter-exchanged between different e-Training Platforms and Programmes. © 2008 IEEE.
