Including accessibility within and beyond undergraduate computing courses
Proceedings of the 11th international ACM SIGACCESS conference on Computers …, 2009•dl.acm.org
This paper presents a unique approach to undergraduate teaching in which accessibility
topics are completely integrated throughout the curriculum, treating accessibility not as a
separate topic, but rather as an integral part of design and development. Means of
accomplishing this integration throughout the entire four-year curriculum are presented. We
also describe how our expertise in accessible design has extended beyond the education of
computer science and engineering students to include Web content authors across campus.
