Including accessibility within and beyond undergraduate computing courses
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. Categories and Subject Descriptors K.4.2 [Computing Milieux]: Computers and Society – Assistive technologies for persons with disabilities. K.3.2 [Computing Milieux]: Computers and Education – Curriculum. General Terms Design, Human Factors, Legal Aspects. Keywords Accessibility, Inclusion, Higher Education, Older Adults, Disability.
