Introduction to Interface Accessibility
Instructors: Jonathan Lazar, Jon Gunderson, G. Anthony Giannoumis, Weiqin Chen
Level: Intro - No prerequisite
Date: Wednesday 10th May 2017

This two-unit course provides an overview of interface accessibility for people with disabilities. The course material is divided into three sections: 1) technical foundations of accessibility, 2) user-centered design methods for accessibility in systems development, and 3) research methods for involving people with disabilities in accessibility-related research. There are no prerequisites for this course, but the assumption is that participants will have a basic understanding of HCI concepts and a basic understanding of web programming.
