Abstract
This paper details the actions undertaken to ensure the accessibility of the educational application “UMUapp”, of the University of Murcia. This app is designed to access with a smartphone to the “Virtual Cam- pus” of the University. These actions were designed and implemented according to the different disabilities of people who could use the app, ensuring the availability of different resources and educational tools (access to virtual campus, individualized messaging, IP calls, geolocation in emergencies, online advice, download of lecture notes, teaching tracking and virtual tutoring, among other things). Its development and implementation was helpful for a total of 1,053 students with disabilities enrolled in the University of Murcia.
