Description
The project addresses the need of the applicant to introduce new methods in its work and collect and store together all of its data and documents in an information system in order to deliver its services more efficiently and prevent data loss. The project aims at enhancing the capacity of the applicant by introducing web-based platforms and interactive tools. First, a website, database of users and an e-library with more than 1600 titles will be developed and tested by the users, i.e. people with visual impairments. Second, a user’s manual for work with the new e-services will be developed. 2 team members and 4 volunteers will be trained to use the new e-services. The project will benefit not only the applicant by boosting its capacity to deliver more efficiently e-services to its target group but also will benefit the users, i.e. visually impaired people across Bulgaria. The users will be involved in the development and testing of the new products.
