The possibility of building a virtual learning environment (AVA) accessible to people with visual impairment, making it possible to navigate educational resources in a distance learning course in a self-instructional format using screen readers is one of the arguments of this research, which aims to contribute to greater digital inclusion in the context of online learning and teaching. This hypothesis was analyzed within the following premise: How to configure educational learning resources (texts, images, videos) in AVA for accessibility and usability for visually impaired people? Thus, the objective of this research was to develop an ebook, in the ePUB3 format, in HTML5, with orientations directed to professionals who work in the creation of virtual learning environments, regarding accessibility for visually impaired people. We used a descriptive type methodology, of an applied nature, with qualitative and quantitative data. The construction of the ebook was based on bibliographic research in the existing literature, based on eMAG recommendations. In the development stages, we used the process method described as PDCA (Plan, Do, Check and Act) management. In the first three cycles of the project, the survey of the characteristic of the product and characteristic for the content of the product was carried out. In the last cycle, the ebook was validated by the means of the application of a questionnaire intended for programmers, AVA administrators, web designers, graphic designers, instructional designers, and pedagogues. The selected method of analysis was the "dichotomic", which presents only two options of answers: "yes" or "no", as well as the "open" analysis, which made it possible to the evaluators to present and add their opinion regarding the requested question. The quantified data was based on regression modeling. In addition, the qualitative data was analyzed on the development of the product; as well as the pertinence of the content of the material regarding (i) concise text; (ii) dialogical construction; (iii) new knowledge about configuration of accessibility for people with visual impairments in AVAs; and (iv) applicability of knowledge in the daily life of the e-learning professional. The creation of the e-book on Configuration of Virtual Learning Environments for Visually Impaired People sought to present, by means of a theoric approach, the reflection about a Virtual Learning Environment that is conducive for the visually impaired person, offering an environment that is more accessible and, why can't we say, more "friendly"
