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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
