Abstract
In 2000, the firm MediaLT initiated a Norwegian project, where the goal was to adapt the European Computer Driving License (ECDL) for the blind and partially sighted, i. e. to develop and arrange a distant education course and a certification scheme. This short paper will cover the work related to adapting the certification scheme. Individual adapted training and accessible learning materials are discussed in a separate paper. We wanted to explore if the certification scheme discriminated the visual impaired, because the ECDL tests measured the method and not the ability to solve tasks.
