OBJECTIVES SEQUENCE Most participants (11 out of 13) indicated that awareness about how PWDs interact with software and technical knowledge of implementing and testing accessibility are the most suitable learning outcomes (LO) for CS courses. (Parthasarathy and Joshi, 2024)

LEARNING OBJECTIVES SEQUENCE In the responses to the survey of Shinohara et al., the most common learning objective reported by instructors who teach accessibility was “Understand technology barriers faced by people with disabilities” [Shinohara et al, 2018]. This dovetails with the discussion of Putnam et al. of the instructional goal of cultivating empathy for those with disabilities [Putnam et al, 2016]. (Kearney-Volpe et al, 2019).

LEARNING OBJECTIVES SEQUENCE Instructors were surveyed about the learning objectives that they used to guide the development of their accessibility enhancements/modules. The most common learning objectives reported by instructors were for students to understand technology barriers (16 responses) and universal design, ability-based design, inclusive design, and participatory design concepts (14 responses), as well as be able to evaluate web pages by accessibility standards and heuristics (e.g. WCAG) and to develop accessible web technologies (14 responses). (Kearney-Volpe et al, 2019)

OBJECTIVES SEQUENCE Inclusive design was a frequent learning objective amongst instructors, and students gained confidence about it (25% increase across all courses). Understanding barriers that people with disabilities face was the most frequently answered learning objective. (Kearney-Volpe et al, 2019)

Sequenced to begin with a focus of building empathy and understanding, major types of disability (vision, hearing, physical and cognition), AT, videos of first-hand testimonials, panel discussions on disability etiquette (Thompson, 2024).

Lit review sequence

  Sections : Background and context (set the scene/ rationale) Social model of disability The legal context for digital accessibility Conceptual perspectives for defining digital accessibility  The problem- the lack of accessible content causing barriers - the wider lack of knowledge AND  need for teaching about DA awareness (social responsibility and for social model to work) The teaching of digital accessibility   Not formally on the curriculum  Where is digital accessibility currently taught/how (uni and workplace) - then the gaps of knowledge prior to uni and the workplace - yet all are using and creating digital content already. Best approach found was to integrate it across the curriculum and reinforce - needs to be taught earlier in schools and then built upon - no papers in school apart from 2 The need for the primary education context and why upper KS2 - establishing the earliest opportunity to introduce and explore the topic to then build upon Cross re...

 #Educators, do your students know what assistive technology means? From tactile maps to screen readers, #AssistiveTechnology includes a number of devices that enable and foster the inclusion of people with disabilities. The Teach Access Curriculum Repository (TACR) has various resources designed to build out your courses and introduce your students to these types of technologies.  Go to the TACR (https://lnkd.in/gWMxzk2e) and check out the presentation slide deck on assistive technology and the assignment for using a screen reader, under the Psychology section.    #BackToSchool #Accessibility #Inclusion #ScreenReader #AssistiveDevices #Psychology #Disability #Disabilities #A11y https://teachaccess.org/curriculum-repository/ Facebook research post: PhD Thesis Writing Process: A Systematic Approach—How to Write Your Introduction To download complete article, use the link: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf?f...

Notes from original proposal

Text taken from original proposal to unpack/expand: The barriers and ‘unlearning’ highlighted during SCULPT were potentially framed by prior complex  beliefs and understandings and ‘unlearning’ or ‘retrofitting’ skills (Youngblood, 2010). As Gu (2010, p.340) explains “a large part of human and professional knowledge can hardly retain its original meaning when it is divorced from the contexts in which it was constructed and produced.” This made me consider that these skills should potentially be taught at the point these original meanings are constructed and that happens at a much younger age. To understand when it would be appropriate to introduce the basics of awareness and skills in school, I considered the age when young people develop digital skills (Department for Education, 2013) as well as an understanding of what it means to be disabled and children’s perceptions for those with disabilities (Boer et al, 2012).  In a literature review Babik & Gardner (2021) found th...
