Understanding digital content, including Webpages, PDFs, video and audio: A discussion about how they are used universally.
Introduction to assistive devices such as screen readers, palm helds, and more. Why are they used? Who do these devices serve? How do these devices interpret digital content?
Digital accessibility is the practice of ensuring that digital technology, including websites, mobile applications, immersive experiences, digital environments, and mixed reality, can be consumed by anybody or entity, regardless of visual, mobile, cognitive, and auditory abilities.
Course description: How can we create and develop digitally accessible immersive and interactive experiences? How can we codify and design the accessibility experience? Let's think critically about universal and inclusive design, and create content for all access levels.
Course objectives: To learn concepts of digital accessibility by understanding principles of the Document Object Model (DOM), semantic HTML, universal design. To look at tools such as p5.js to add accessible interactive elements to pages.
