A Holistic and Pragmatic Approach to Teaching Web Accessibility in an Undergraduate Web Design Course

摘要

Web accessibility is a fundamental instrument to support the shift towards an inclusive cyberspace and a socially responsible society, and higher education plays an essential role in this effort. This paper fills the gap of lacking literature by reporting an undergraduate Web design course that adopts a holistic and pragmatic approach to teaching Web accessibility and presenting the specific accessibility topics and techniques that are appropriate for the course scope and its assessment strategies. It is hoped that the instructional approach presented in the paper will prove beneficial to instructors facing similar demands and challenges in computing programs.
