UNAD Colombia Team

This success story was presented as part of the FiAD 2026 program of activities, and we had the opportunity to hear about it firsthand from María Luisa Barreto, National Leader of the Technopedagogical Management Network for Courses and Digital Educational Resources at UNAD, and Martha Garzón, Key Account Manager at isEazy.

The conversation addressed how they have managed to quickly create digital resources that strengthen their courses, with accessibility integrated into the design to make the learning experience at UNAD more inclusive.

NEED

Creating accessible, innovative, and high-quality content

 

UNAD needed to create innovative, interactive, and high-quality e-learning content, while also incorporating an accessible version to support learning for all students.

 

The challenge was to drive the production of Digital Educational Resources —such as OVAs, OVIs, and infographics— in an agile, consistent way, aligned with the accessibility criteria required by the institution.

“We chose isEazy because we were looking for a partner capable of helping us scale the creation of interactive and accessible content, without compromising quality or institutional consistency. The team’s satisfaction has been very high, not only because of the technology, but also because of the support we received throughout the entire adoption process.”

Accessibility in accordance with WCAG

It facilitates the automatic creation of accessible versions that include support for screen readers, alternative text, keyboard navigation, clear structures, and accessible design options.

Agility in Design and Publishing
